At least some of the Supergrass fans at Cropredy 2008 were drunk, obnoxious, set fire to their tents and scarpered leaving a very messy campsite. Quite the worst behaved of any group's fans I have ever seen there.
So, Supergrass? No thanks.
Supergrass, closely followed by Joan Armatrading, were worst turn I have ever seen at Cropredy We didnt even bother with JA having watched the first ten minutes at another festival. Supergrass were boring but there have been far far worse. |

Having just seen them tonight I'd recommend -
Sons of the East
A fine Aussie ensemble also available for weddings etc...
I would be happy to see Katherine Priddy also

The Joan Armatrading performance was a real disappointment to me. I saw her in concert the previous year and she was great. I'm not sure every performer is right for festivals.

Didn’t Joan A follow on from a really fine RT set? I remember feeling at the time that the two were in the wrong order, and for her it was a case of the right place at the wrong time.
Saw Supergrass earlier this summer at the Jubilation festival. Seemed to be well received but left me a bit cold other than the odd track. Mind you, they were sandwiched between Squeeze and Madness, both of whom were excellent.

She also suffered from speaker problems, as I recall. |

Having seen them all at Moseley Folk Festival this weekend, I'd add the following to my Cropredy wishlist:
- The Longest Johns
- Midlake
- Yasmin Williams
- Bonfire Radicals
- Kurt Vile
- Jethro Tull (best I've seen them in ages).

Read about five minutes after hearing a mate of mine bemoan how abject they were at A New Day... |

The year Supergrass played was a low point in terms of the general 'feel' of the festival. I don't know how much of it could be attributed directly to people drawn to the festival by Supergrass specifically but we saw fights, fires, crazy driving on the campsites and, if I remember correctly, there were stage announcements advising people to keep their valuables at the bottom of their sleeping bags. It didn't feel like Cropredy at times that year. I thought that the band's attitude to the festival was a bit off too but might have just been my general dislike of them colouring my viewpoint..."Keep our teeth nice and clean....Smoke a fag, put it out"....etc....erm…..okay lads.

I thought they were awful and made no attempt to connect with the crowd. I also remember we spent more time at the fringe that year. It was exceptionally good but I've no idea who we saw! (The beer was good too....  ) |

Having seen the Wurzels closing the Somerset County Show last Sunday, I (genuinely!) think they could brighten up a Cropredy afternoon rather well. (Tommy Banner is 83 and Pete Budd 82, so they said they've got about another 10 years of performing yet.) Great musicians and still very funny.
