They were indeed fab...a phenomenal set from Judy and and her musicians. Wonderful to hear the whole of "Harpsong" and "Sisterhood of Ruralists", while "If I Had A Ribbon Bow" and an immaculate version of "I Talk To The Wind" further sealed the deal.

Lovely set. Nice to see Jude with a great band getting some proper stage time. Great to hear Ribbon Bow on the field.  |

Excellent set! I love Harpsong, lovely to hear it sung and played live. I Talk to the Wind? Sublime. And - Look What Your Words Did To Me - just great -it reminded me a little of some of James Warren's Stackridge songs - and that's meant as a compliment, btw. The first ever prog sopranino recorder solo at Cropredy! Little did we know that Jude would set another "first" with FC later that evening...  |

Obviously we are going to look biased, but wasn't Judy and her band a delight?
It was a very cunning set list, that just ticked all the boxes as it went along.
Lots of people wondered why it has taken so long for her to get on the Cropredy stage.
Playing the long game?

Absolutely sublime.
So pleased we got Harpsong in all its proggy magnificence!

Jude giving young singers a lesson in diction, phrasing and breathing. Sadly, there were no greyhounds or autoharps on stage, but we did get a sopranino recorder. The knitting came later. Enjoyed the whole set, but Harp Song was wonderful. It just tells a wonderful story. See comment one. Heard, and understood every word. We did get Ribbon Bow and sigh as well. Paul |

Unfortunately I had to leave the field (to photograph a wedding on F8!) after I talk to the wind but everything I heard was utterly fab. Well done, our Jude!

I don't know if it was where I was sitting, or the wind direction or some other factor, but a lot of the set for me sounded dreadfully out of tune. Don't know whether Judy was having monitor problems and couldn't hear herself, or whether the wind was having an effect on the pitch, or the Doppler effect. I moved around the arena a bit to see if it was the position I was sitting in, but it didn't make much difference.
Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the set because of this. I enjoyed her appearance with FC much more.
