Cropredy 2018 - Turns and Tickets

[Bingers (Chris)]

Digance, Sedge, Varley, Stewart - that's a lot of solo men with guitars for one afternoon. In fact apart from Rusby and Midnight Skyacer it is a very male dominated line up, no female performers at all on Thursday and Saturday apart from maybe a guest with FC.

Afro Celts have female performers

[Shane (Skirky)]

Ah, so it was him.
Didn't want to look silly in case it wasn't. ��
Did he also play the sax in Baker Street?  

That was Bob Holness.

Of course it was. There seems to be an urban myth that it wasn't, no idea where that comes from.

Some people will believe anything...

Ah Bob Holness the first and best James Bond

We need to sort these Urban Myths.
Bob Holness managed the East Dulwich under 13's football side in which Ronnie Wood played fullback and
Chris Farlowe was goalkeeper. It was Chris who bought Bob his first saxaphone.
Hope this helps.

Actually, Barry Nelson was the first to play James Bond, in 1954. He appeared in a one-hour version of Casino Royale, co-starring with Peter Lorre, broadcast on CBS as an episode of the Climax! Mystery Theatre.

Perhaps we'd better get back to Cropredy 2018 - I'm really looking forward to seeing the Travelling Band again!

Agree we seem to have wandered a long way from Cropredy. Yes Seeing the Travelling Band again will be good. Will have to get the new album ‘Sails’ as well

Yes, just excellent last time
Genuinely really sad I can't be there this year for Brian Wilson's Cropredy Convention! It is my sort of line up . Not bothered about Brian Wison cos what. I have seen of his Pet a Sounds live have been fairly dire.
( if the Banbury Times are to be believed!!!!!)

Looks ok to me. You judge:

If you isolate Brian's individual performances you'd find them hugely erratic, but as an ensemble piece it works.  Or it used to, anyway...I saw him twice in the early noughties (on the first and third tour over here).  It's hard to put oneself in that position again...people genuinely never expected to see Brian on a stage again, remember.  The only thing I've witnessed that came close (in audience participating emotional terms) to that performance in Glasgow I saw on the first tour was Arthur Lee's first show over here in decades (at the T&C2/Garage) in 1992.  The sort of gig that made you think, hell, you might even get to see Syd Barrett on a stage again....

I remember how I felt, seeing Peter Green on a stage with The Splinter Group in 1997 (or thereabouts) in Woking. Broken but...worth seeing.

Although it's often stated Peter Green hadn't been on stage since the 70's he actually had (with Pete Bardens in the early-mid 1980's - I saw them at a pub in Midhurst.  It was horrifying).  Same with Lee...he'd been playing fairly (ir)regularly in the US.  Pre-internet though, we simply didn't know about it.
