I genuinely loved this set, and it sounded fine about three-quarters of the way back in the field. Just great to hear ambitious and expansive and beautiful music without (ahem) bulls**t.  |

Watching and listening to Judy singing 'If I had a Ribbon Bow' (along with 'Reno, Nevada' with Fairport) was one of my festival (and indeed Cropredy) highlights. Such a gentle, beautiful voice - so evocative of the sixties. Thanks Judy for making someone who was sadly too young to be there the first time round a very happy chap...! Wonderful.

The sound was brilliant at the front, Judy and band and in the main set are already in my favourite Cropredy performances.

I spoke to Jude in the flesh for the first time ever on the night before, and I told her I was intending to ask if she was going to play certain material, but decided not to and she said 'Yes, just wait and see', so it was nice to be surprised by three of them - If I Had A Ribbon Bow, Harp Song and I Talk To The Wind all in a row. No See Emily Play - but maybe next time.
I had to listen to the first half while sorting out some food, but joined Nick down the front for the rest, where I found out his tallness was obscuring son of Jude, who I had met before, thankfully - he unknowingly saved my bacon - not ACTUAL bacon, you understand - so thanks for that and belated happy birthday.
A real treat of a set - and about time too !
