I've always thought Los Lobos or Bonnie Raitt would be excellent choices for Cropredy.

Bonnie Raitt would be amazing! |

I see on the FC website that there is a small Autumn Tour but no Wintour. Is there any info about this?

I usually think about who I haven’t seen at Cropredy before, so seconds for Heaton & Abbott and Merry HellAlso
Imagined Village
Simple Minds
Crowded House
False Lights
Steve Earle
Stereophonics
Luke Jackson (why stop inviting the winter support?).
For a superb headliner, Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. Or even Nile Rodgers. The most popular at
Lytham festival was Bryan Adams who also went down well at Cornbury.
Always felt the envelope needs to be pushed a little with some soul, reggae or especially world music. Jimmy Cliff or Toots and the Maytals (if they are still going). On a separate thread, I suggested Bill Bailey as a different option. I know that comedy can be difficult to please everyone but the strong musical content of his act can help overcome that (I treasure his ragtime version of Stairway to Heaven!)

After the last brilliant Cropredy line up I would like to see a similar mix of genres.
Del Amitri and Elbow as Thursday & Friday headliners. (Assuming getting Faun over from Germany would prove too difficult).
Merry Hell
Amsterdam
Kapreka's Constant
Jamestown Brothers
either Peatbog Fairies or Dreadzone returning.
and Gaz Brookfield all on the bill.
with Becky Mills as the pre Fairport slot on Saturday.

Show of Hands with Track Dogs, as per the Shrewsbury Folk Festival performance.
This partnership takes them in a very different and more challenging, but entertaining direction.
Alas, I don't think this partnership will continue as Miranda is due to return soon, which is great. A real dichotomy for me.

Show Of Hands
Chris While & Julie Matthews
The Stranglers
The Zombies (an ideal Cropredy band who would surprise a lot of people)
The Albion Band 1978 presents Rise Up Like The Sun (with all surviving willing (and yes, un-incarcerated) members present).
Luke Jackson
The Beach Boys (well, we've had Brian so it's Mike & Bruce's turn)
EX-TC featuring XTC's Terry Chambers
Steeleye Span
Yes (despite the politics of the current incarnation, they'd be good for the prog slot)
Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets

Nick Mason's SoS would be a fabulous Thursday or Friday headline act.

I'll probably not go but if a reformed Ahab, The Ursine Princes and Green Diesel were included in the programme, I might be tempted.

As I mentioned a month or so ago, I recently saw Roger Daltrey live at the Liverpool Empire, with his excellent touring band. Would go down an absolute storm at Cropredy.

Setlists for these shows were great (I'm agnostic on the Leo Sayer cover, mind)...but who was in the band...is it Zak and Pino and Simon or....? Answered my own question here...just found it...so Simon and his son Ben...and Doug Boyle (guitar); Geraint Watkins (keyboards); John Hogg (bass); Jody Linscott (percussion); Billy Nicholls (backing vocals); Steve ‘West’ Weston (harmonica), and Katie Jacoby (violin). Decent band, that! |
