The 25th anniversary.
My new girlfriend (later wife, now ex-wife) was completely exhausted by all that weird folkrock music and had fallen asleep in the rain, the Full House line-up played Sloth and RT started his solo....
Or maybe (if I may)
2014. I had a terrible time this year, problems at the job, problems with family. I sat down in the field (with my new girlfriend), Fairport Acoustic came on and started playing and I felt: This is where I belong, life is good here.
Tom , I think that encapsulates Cropredy for a lot of people. In the early and mid 90's it was a real escape for me! |

The whole set last year.
Our Lads were really on form. Not surprised they topped the best act poll.
I think that, and the set at Butlins in 2013, were as good as I've ever heard the band.

Getting told off by Ric's mum when I was rather inebriated and shouting "Get your bloody hair cut, Ric'" in '87. "My Ric's got lovely hair" etc etc....At least this is how I remember it anyway.... I'm not expecting this to win.

There will be no winners. This category is not going to the vote. It is just a bit of fun to stimulate conversation. Did nobody read the introductory page?  |

Don't know why, but I'm imagining Ric's mother telling you off in a Terry Jones 'Life Of Brian voice!  |

OK - bit of a long Cropredy story but true:
In the years when folks would serve up liquer coffees from caravans in the camp sites late into the night a group of us were getting increasingly merry and telling **** jokes, my late friend Nick came up with "Whats the difference between a duck?" - "One of its legs is both the same" much to the bemusement of a couple sat with. Don't worry about it we said, Nick is just trying to be surreal. "What does that mean?" they ask. "Well, if Peggy comes on stage tomorrow playing a banana instead of a bass, well that would be surreal".
Saturday night comes, Fairport bound on the stage Simon playing a box of cornflakes and Peggy playing a banana shaped bass guitar and from across the field we hear a voice, familiar from the night before, shout out "Bloody hell Peggy - that's a bit surreal"
