Mike Peters for the pre FC slot on Saturday would be excellent! His acoustic shows are always amazing, you get to sing along a lot, and he's such a nice bloke as well.  |

Forgot to add: Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams.
Great entertaining band that's I'd love to see at Cropredy. And they'd have a ball as well.

Good Afternoon!
I am a regular reader of this board but never posted so here goes!
I have been to the festival five or six times over the last ten years and have always had a wonderful time. I will definitely be attending next year. Can I put a word in for Furthur! I don't know how realistic this is but I think they would make an excellent Thursday headline act and I know there are a lot of Deadheads on here. There are rumours that they are scheduled to do a European tour next year to mark the 40th anniversary of Europe 72 so if that is true it would theoretically be possible. I appreciate this may strike horror into the hearts of some but I think on the whole they would be well received and I think extra Deadheads attending could add to the atmosphere of the festival!
I would be interested to know what you think but be gentle with me!
Vanessa.
Now you're talking Vanessa! |

Colins right. A thread like this will always become peoples lists of who they would like to see and i could do that!
As it is a special anniversary i suspect it will be based around Fairport connected bands.
It would be nice to see bands who have reaaly starred at Cropredy over the last 10/15 yrs.
On Thursday , i would like 'Fringe Thursday'. Fringe bands who have appeared on the main stage, Say from 4pm to 8pm Eg, Ahab. Spank the Monkey, Leatherat and (I know they've never been on the main stage) Mary Jane Band. Then a really unexpected headlinerOysterband/Waterboys/ etc .
And i can't resist personal choices, Imagined Village, Peatbog Faeries and Lucy Ward
Now i wish i could afford to promote that line up!

The Saw Doctors are long overdue a return they would have to headline the friday night as no self respecting act would want to follow them
James would be lovely in the saturday tea time slot(where Horslips played this year)
Madness are a storming festival band, hit after hit after hit in the thursday headline slot and all the grumpy folkies could console themselves by muttering about it not being real ska
there will be 3 or 4 folk acts who i dont know
Digance for the saturday opener
thin lizzy for the oldies/legends slot, none of that lumpen old brummy metal please
45 years so a 4 hour marathon from the chaps with loads of old members chipping in or maybe like the 40 year slot do it over 2 nights

Every year I say this but how about The Albion Band '78 present Rise Up Like The Sun.
Wouldn't be averse to Albion Band...The Next Generation, though...

Would love to Stackrige back there again now that they have a new line-up. Also, it's about time Megson did Cropredy. I think I heard Stu say it was the only major Festival on the folk circuit that they haven't played, so it would be a first for a lot of people.
With Mutter's departure, Stackridge are now defunct once more. IMHO, of course. Sorry Andy can't agree with the defunct comment, Stackridge are just moving into a new era. I love old Mutter and was heart broken when he left the band, but Stackridge remain an incredibly tight band, with new songs as well as performing old favorites with flute parts being filled in by the amazing Mr Glen Tommy. So I would vote to have them back next year - they would still delight the crowd. My other choices for 2012 would be Gong (before Daevid Allen retires). I would also love to see The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain particulary as Chris mentioned them in this years programme. .... and to fill the rising young talent spot the amazing Keston Cobblers Club who are delight. |

Pre-Fairport would be an excellent spot for KT Tunstall.
That slot is usually solo, Andy. |

Madness on Thursday
Bellowhead on Friday
Loud and Rich before Fairport on Saturday
Plus The Decemberists in there somewhere.
But I doubt it'll happen!
