Given the anniversary, Thea Gilmore singing her Sandy Denny album.
Good call, quite likely I suspect |

How about Joan Armatrading? I have always loved her music but never seen her live until recently and she was amazing! She knew how to work an audience and is an excellent guitarist. Also connected to Fairport through Gerry Conway (he played on her albums). Currently Spencer Cozens (ex John Martyn and Pentangle ) is in her band and very good he is to! As an added bonus it is suprising how many of her songs most people know so it would be good for a sing-a-long arms waving in the air style. (if you are into that sort of thing-which I am!)

I suspect Anoushka woulsd get lost on the wind - the last bunch of Indians did! :-)
But otherwise, a good list!

I just want to hear 20,000 voices sing "Waterloo Sunset".
Totally agree and Sunny Afternoon, Lola, Days, Village Green etc, etc, etc Main point about any headliners is they should be able to engage with the audience and grasp what Cropredy is all about. Too many have seemed to think it is like walking on to any concert stage (UB40, Quo) when we all know Cropredy is so much more than that. With that in mind: - Totally agree with Madness - no better live band around for working an audience
Roger Daltrey - had some decent reviews on here recently
Nick Lowe - either solo or preferably with band (now if Rockpile could reform...). And if he could bring his friend, Mr Cooder!
As Richard T is coming, how about an electric set and 1000 years of Popular Music?
If we have to have regggae, make it a proper band like Toots and the Maytals On the folk side, it is about time Eliza Carthy came back. It must be ten years since she last was at Cropredy. Either with band or Imagined Village. Julie Fowlis to return as well - after playing so well in a deluge last time, she deserves another go in the sunshine! And we haven't yet seen Kate Rusby - it's about time. Also the Martin Simpson Band.
Don't know if Salsa Celtica are still going, haven't heard of them for a while but they were brilliant at Cornbury a few years ago.
From the States, I would love to see Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes. Brilliant live. Would also like to see Tomp Paxton - he could do the pre FC slot and then play with them later. He did record with Peggy and Swarb.
And finally the pipedream - Bruce and the Seeger Sessions Band.

Good idea! Spencer's a great supporter of Cropredy as the Hughes Arms will testify  |

Charming. She speaks very highly of you, though. Kate's neither of those things. Old or twee. Just immensely talented and a great live act. |

As did Daves Pegg & Mattacks & Jerry Donahue (the LP containing "Love & Affection"). Another sound choice.  |

She doesn't seem consistent with your previously stated "likes" I happen to be smitten as well. |

I'll put in a vote for Runrig to headline Thursday because:
- it's their 40th anniversary year
- they're going to be out and about and available;
- looking at their normal UK gig size they'lll probably be cheaper than the likes of UB40 and Status Quo;
- they have that epic "big music" sound that can fill a field;
- they're a great live band;
- hearing Loch Lomond over the field at midnight would be something to rival Meet On The Ledge on Saturday.
