We heard a programme called Seek the Light on Radio 4 around lunchtime, with Karine Polwart presenting and some of her music.
We saw her perform somewhere years ago, not sure whether or not she’s been to Cropredy, but she would be nice for an afternoon slot.
(Just before that The Food Programme was about Festival Food...made me think how well Cropredy does with the food..Maccy D is definitely not on my wish list, but sounds like it’s making its way into festival foods).

Following Moseley, I would add the following to my Cropredy wishlist :
Stornoway (the new material is fantastic)
Granny's Attic
Wild Rivers
Wilco
Nogood Boyo (a bit sweary, but would go down well with the Dreadzone crowd)
Billy Bragg (don't think he's ever appeared, other than as an FC guest? Maybe too political, but I find his forthrightness both refreshing and inspiring.)

I'm looking forward to seeing the new Stornoway live soon. Has Brian given up work with the WWT in Llanelli btw? Granny's Attic are great. I like Wilco, but my other half (just back from EotR) told me they were the dullest band she's ever seen. She did point out others were loving it...I was amazed to see pictures of Jeff from there. He's changed! If Merry Hell can be welcomed then I'm sure Billy can. He always gives good gig. |

RT has been known to guest with Wilco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5tmVsUKCiY |

Corvus Corax have announced their "Thousand Years of Dance Music" project for 2024. I'd love to see them/that at Cropredy...

Don't think so - his programme interview suggests he's still at it. |

Please, please not Billy Bragg  A talentless bore. Totally up himself. Stating "I really don't like Billy Bragg" is fine. But personal criticism like this is not. I think Bridg has started a BB for Cropredy campaign. |

I’ve just remembered about Rick Astley and The Blossoms doing the songs of The Smiths...( Glasto) ...wow it was amazing.
It would be great for Cropredy but he has gone mega these days, so maybe too big?

How about sticking to saying which acts you'd like to see and leaving the negative opinions elsewhere?
Thanks

Don't know if there is planned to be any concerts to go with it, but I've been enjoying the Bold Reynold album by David Carroll and friends (who include Chris Leslie and Dave Pegg), and if they were to put something on, Cropredy would be a great place for it!

There is a band from Ulster called 'The Tumbling Paddies' who sing a mix of covers (including an uptempo Dirty Old Town which is a nice change) and traditional Irish songs. Their live album was out last month and they would certainly get the mosh pit jumping.

It's a genre I don't much go for (too much Paddywhackery for my liking) but for those who do, the Mary Whallopers are making a name for themselves over here. As an aside, Dirty Old Town wasn't meant to be sung up tempo by raucous Irismen - discuss...  |

I saw them supporting the Saw Doctors in July, they were ok but nothing special, sticking to a pretty obvious paddywhackery set list.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of this ott Oirish stuff around at the moment. Saw the Mary Wallopers at Moseley - undoubtedly they are good at what they do, but after ten minutes of it I'd had enough. It also irritates me a bit that people are left with the impression that songs such as Dirty Old Town are Irish - it feels as if a bit of my English cultural heritage is being appropriated.
Returning to the subject of Cropredy acts, personally I'd prefer it if the number of tribute/covers acts was restricted. Two a year is plenty.

Aye, well...talking of Dirty Old Town, I just checked and Roger Whittaker is still alive. Unfortunately, I think he’s in retirement though.

I agree
I'm guessing it was '16, '17 - Wkwttg? - and they earned a special place in Cropredy hearts imo, so bring them on...
