Not sure if this is the best place to post (please move it if not), but according to Richard Digance post on Facebook, he's not at Cropredy next year. I for one think it is a bit of a shame. I wonder what the chaps are planning...

His website says 2017 is his 50th anniversary in the business and the entire month of August is marked out as 'Summer Break'.

Excellent news.
I was thinking to myself that for many this should have been posted in the TUT thread.  Jules |

Nah, I've never been a fan. Oh, hang on, you didn't mean that, did you? |

The reaction to this news on the Facebook Fairporters page has been bordering on hysterical and completely over the top.
It doesn't matter to me if he's there or not : he's ok but maybe it's time to try something else in that slot ? Another folky comedian type, perhaps ?

Well , it may not matter to you or to many of us who endured his right wing hanky waving antics, but he has been a fixture in the 12.00 slot on saturday for many years and i assume he would have been expecting to be there to warm up the crowd on the 50th anniversary cropredy, so it's fair game for us to speculate as to why he will be absent next year. |

I agree, it's totally fair game to speculate as to why he won't be there next year, and I must say I'm surprised by the news, just finding the extreme reactions of some people on social meeja a bit odd.

Making more room for Fairport-related acts hopefully.

The "making room" reasoning works, or they could have started at 11!
Personally I can't stand the man, but then again, he can't stand me, so that's fine. I know a lot of people love him, so I understand their being upset, but changes happen. I look forward to the announcements of acts in the next few months.

There is a certain amount of prejudice knocking about here (I've never been to Crop and I don't hold Jeremy C's views) and I'm aware that he upset some of you some years ago but I can only go on what I have seen in concert which is a very good singer-songwriter and someone who is extraordinarily funny.
