Convention Fringe 2023

[Field 7 is Heaven (Trev)]

Over the past couple of years I have seen Top professional acts like Kapreka's Constant, Bar Steward Sons ,Merry Hell and many more at the Brasenose.

These don't come cheap and someone has to pay. To see them at a theatre or club would cost at least £15 per time.

I may be alone ,but I think its good value and OK to charge. The overdone security is a different matter.

If you have the festival armband you can see a great variety of artists at the Cream of the Crop (formerly Field eight) for free, and enjoy the cheapest drinks anywhere at the festival as a bonus.

Sorry, but I can’t help thinking that if The Brasenose want to distance themselves from the main festival, maybe they should choose a different weekend on which to hold it.
There is a vast difference between symbiotic and parasitic.

They’d probably have to organise their own parking, for a start.

Is anyone aware of Georgia Lucas' Songbird project? Apparently launching at the Brasenose on August 10th

I have seen bits and pieces about it on FB. No one talking about it, seems to be mentioning the similar project with Thea Gilmore from some years ago. I don't know if any of the lyrics are the same as the one she used, or if it is all 'new' ones?

Georgia gave this interview to an Australian radio station where she talked about the project, her upcoming visit to the UK and the exhibition of her mother's memorabilia:

This was posted on the Brasenose Fringe Facebook.

Fairport's Cropredy Convention has a parking order in place throughout the village. This means that if you park your vehicle on coned roads, then you could be towed away and face substantial recovery fees.

Some people park on the verges of the Great Bourton road and walk into the village.

We will be posting the Bus Timetable in due course.

Regarding buses from Banbury to Cropredy, this page https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/oxfordshire/fairport-convention has a link to a "full timetable" but it appears to be the 2022 timetable. Anyone know if the times are the same this year?
