Saturday evening's set is now available online hereI don't know whether it's permissible to mention it here ( so I won't name it), but there is a web site where audience-recorded versions of many of the sets from this year's Cropredy (including Fairport, Clannad, Emily Barker, Maddie Morris, Sharon Shannon, Turin Brakes, Edward II, Trevor Horn, Martyn Joseph, Rosalie Cunningham, Holy Moly, Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews, Thumping Tommys, Bar Stewards, Seth Lakeman, Slambovians, Steve Hackett, Home Service) are available. Quality can vary, but some of the sets are available as multiple recordings. The couple that I've listened to so far (Richard T, Slambovians) have been excellent. They make dozens of bars too...    Probably because I'm an old Deadhead, but I often prefer the sound of a decent audience recording to a sound desk one. The sets I've enjoyed most are Iain's and Richard's. I'm going to be a bit controversial and say that (and this is arguably one of my favourite albums we're talking about here) I thought the Full House set sounded a bit 'off'. |

I don’t know where she gets the energy, she is amazing! Heard her on Gary Davies (Radio Two Breakfast Show) and her cameo role in The Archers, this week. Loved her performance at Cropredy this time and the last time. |

As the RT set from Saturday is available from Radio Oxford "off the desk", that would seem the best to pick up.

I just listened to FOTF on Radio Oxford. It's true the harmonies were a miss, but what a fabulous addition to the Full House set. I have always found that tune mesmerizing. The recording inspired me to buy a dulcimer; now I need to electrify it. |

I'd just like to say something in appreciation of the stallholders: I visited one stall, selling coffee and crepes and close to the top of the field, on at least six occasions over the two days and found the staff to be always friendly, polite and helpful. Bear in mind they were working all day over three of the hottest days any recent summer has produced, in fairly stifling environments. I know they were doing their jobs and earning money but I couldn't help admiring their spirit  |

Just listening to Sloth again from this year's festival. I love the little quote from Stairway To Heaven that Simon inserts into his guitar solo.
I wonder if there is any significance? I could hazard a guess but may be way off.

Listening to
A great set from FC last night (apart from Flowers of the Forest, on which the harmonies just didn't seem to "gel" - just as per the Tuesday warmup).
I just listened to FOTF on Radio Oxford. It's true the harmonies were a miss, but what a fabulous addition to the Full House set. I have always found that tune mesmerizing. The recording inspired me to buy a dulcimer; now I need to electrify it. Just finished listening to the Fairport set on the Radio Oxford broadcast. I almost had to skip FOTF it was that bad. I've listened to a recording of the warmup on the 9th that sounded better harmony-wise - although still a little ropey. I can't really fault them that much, given the difficulty of the song and the closeness of the harmonies. |
