And Mr Winwood lives a lot nearer than JT. Somewhere in the Hereford/Worcs/Warks area I think. I'd love to hear "Keep On Runnin" at Cropredy!
Personally I'd much rather hear some of the Traffic songbook! |

Peggy did reveal two definite Cropredy bookings on stage at Yeovil last night. One obvious and probably mentioned elsewhere (bring waterproof clothing) and one reasonably obvious...

There's a nice half page interview with Peggy in this month's Classic Rock magazine (March 2009 with Axl Rose on the cover)
Axl Rose..on the cover of Classic Rock?? I can't believe it, as the magazine rarely features anything about Axl, Guns, Slash etc etc! |

Simon Mayor and Hilary James have a 4 page" private collection "showing off their various instruments in this months Guitar and Bass magazine . I place this thread here as Peggy has sold them some of his old mandos --as mentioned within the article . A good read and some seriously covetable instruments they own too .

Let's just say that on Saturday, before the Fairport set, he'll more than likely offer to lead you through the roads of a major city in England and show you something that'll make you change your mind... Looking forward to it, he's long overdue for a set. |

From memory Peggy was also quoted saying -a long time ago, mind- that alongside James Taylor, Steve Winwood was very high up the wish list.
Guessed that one right apparently - so where can I claim my prize? ;-) Me, I absolutely love Steve Winwood in Traffic. Then anything post-Arc Of a Diver leaves me stone cold, although I hear his last one is quite good - never heard it. Is Winwood the Traffic man these days or the 80s/90s hitmaker? (Winwood guesting with Fairport doing the Traffic version of John Barleycorn would be most appropriate!). |

More the former than the latter, though there's still a bit of that there. Put it this way, he's happy to play guitar on stage these days.... |

OK confession time - I only really know of Windood as "Keep on Runnin" and those 80s hits. he's just not someone who has crossed my radar to any great extent - so why should I get excited about him headlining Thursday night as now seems likely?
What sort of stuff does he do - blues / folk / rock - what should I expect?

Traffic were one of THE great rock bands of the 60's and 70's. There's a very folkish element to some of their material, some awesome acoustic work, and some spectacular rock jams. Think very British, very pastoral, very very bloody good. You need Traffic in your life. My own personal view of Stevie's post Traffic (and don't forget Blind Faith, which came in the middle either) is that 90% of it is a major disappointment, but he's still got his mojo working. It will be very special I reckon....

That's pretty much spot on. As said before, Winwood is very much a 2 headed monster; if you like one, you may very well dislike the other. One head being Traffic (and what led up to it, and Blind Faith, but also maybe his first two solo albums, which were a kind of transition) and the other head is this very slick FM friendly (to me-)faceless pop/soul.
Traffic are one of England's best bands ever and should not be mistaken for Winwood solo. A very unhealthy band to be in though; lots of vey dead musicians there.

Having seen Winwood live recently, I can assure anyone expecting a bland mid 80's AOR set will be in for a major disappointment. The set featured Traffic and Blind Faith stuff, plus the two big Spencer Davies hits. The only consession to the solo stuff was one of the 80's hits and stuff from his recent solo album, the recent material having a sort of jam/Latin/blues groove to it. The mega long version of Mr. Fantasy was worth seeing on its own...
