A bit short notice, but I  just see coming ip literally right now on BBC4, martin Carthy and friends.  BBC4 sessions. "Revorded at Union Chapel, brings together some of his most important collaborators"
Followed at 1200 by Kate Rusby and 1230, Petrr Paul and Mary. Quite a musical fest...

Now that's a name I recall seeing in the music papers way back when, but I have to admit I know very little about him.

I contributed to the previous volume. My offering was about how we took my brother to his last Cropredy in 2007 and how I arranged for a plaque to be placed at Jonah's Oak as a tribute to him - as well as a nice picture of him and his wife and kids at the 2007 festival. It still brings a lump to my throat when I see it.

Exactly Will. I had completely forgotten I had contributed to this.
I am just pleased and happy that my friends widow ( I talk about him and putting his ashes on field during MOTL) who read the piece yesterday , was genuinely touched by it and felt it more than appropriate. I am hugely relieved.

Nick Gravenites - of Electric Flag, Janis et al.  Just shy of his 86th....

Come to Nottinghamshire…

Hahahaha 😁

No gigs anywhere near me. Oh well, there's always next year...

That's good to know.  I can't remember exactly what I said now!

I was delighted to get my piece in this year, including a couple of pics of my Farewell '79 programme and my Swarb in his underpants pic. I was luckily able tp pick it up two days before Cropredy at the warm-up gig in Banbury. I have to say Richard was a pleasure to deal with at all stages, a real gent.
It's a lovely read than can be dipped into at random, and amazing to hear so many wildly different accounts of how we came to let this motley bunch into our hearts.
@Dave Hendo, we were both there in August '79 - who could have dreamed that 45 years later.....
