Diane that's one of the reasons I never speak to these people except to say, "well done, thanks very much". A very well-known keyboard player plays a monthly gig near me, and puts on a fantastic show, but when he's not on stage he is, *ahem*, not the pleasantest conversationalist. Even his band tend to ignore him. But who cares? He's an old man, and he spends so much energy doing his job, that I'm surprised the bugger can walk off stage.

There is a thing on TAW where you allowed to be critical about an artists performance, but not make personal comments. However it's a bit of a fine line where you have personal experience of meeting the person. Personalty I can see the attraction in what he does and some of his material is very clever, but then he goes and piles on the sugary overly patriotic nostalgia for a Britain that never was. Please try to keep it the comments reasoned.  |

It's a special year. Wouldn't it be good to start Saturday with something loud, bouncy and completely unexpected and with a Fairport connection!

I love the old Digance Saturday morning performance as far as I am concerned it has become a Cropredy institution and would be like not having Leon's , 6X or the Goan fish curry stall .
All who have been coming since well before Digance, who would be the new kid on the block amongst them :-) |

The Cropredy Box had Cut Across Shorty, which to my mind was the last time they were all together as The GP's. |

Unless I'm mistaken, the GP's last appeared in 2009, the track "Can't Be Satisfied" is on the Off The Screen DVD.

Funny, isn't it? How comedians are like Marmite and when one person makes a suggestion for a RD replacement there is always someone else ready to jump in and say "ooh, not THEM!"
Well, I'll have my tuppence worth now.
I like RD on a Saturday morning, though there have been times I wish he'd be less Daily Mail in his views. But he can play guitar and sings a pretty good song. And you only have to see the number of folk waving their white hankies in the air during his set to see how much people look forward to him.
I really like Jasper Carrott and Mike Harding and would love to see either or both of them on stage at Cropredy. Likewise the wonderful but increasingly frail Billy Connolly.
Whatever happens won't please everyone, but there's enough to do around the field and the village if you don't want to watch, and you can be damn sure that whoever it is, there's going to be a rush of people trying to get in to a good position with their encampments for the day. And thousands of Cropredy-goers will enjoy it, because they go with that intention.

Indeed, whoever it is, the field will only be slightly less full on Saturday lunchtime!
