Among the strange things at Cropredy to the foreign visitors from Sweden were- not Theakston´s, that´s very a familiar brewery - but men in White dress, jumping up and down!
Ahh, that'll be the Adderbury Morris Men (but not the Adderbury Village Morris Men), of whom Chris is a member. Might be worth contacting them as they may be interested in that pic for their archive. I´d be glad to send the original slide to them should they want it. In return I´d just would want them to nail the exact year, since I have the slides from the Cropredies 82 to 84 in the sam box! |

Aaahh, this one got forgotten. Steeley Span played 1984, heading Friday night in the dark, so I think this is from a Prior & Kemp-performance at the 1982 Cropredy (unfortunately I cannot find my 1982 Cropredy programme, anyone got a spare?  ) [attachment deleted by admin] |

I would just like to say how much I am enjoying seeing these photos - and I wasn't even there! Was the world a simpler place then or is that just an effect of getting old?

I really must get around to thinking up something witty and urbane to put here.

I think it´s a mix of both. A lot of things were easier, others more difficult (finding out about and getting to Fairport gigs from abroad for example). But the years have a tendency to polish up old memories to a level where it really wasn´t. I for one remember how the sound wasn´t always very god at gigs, especially outdoors, I went to in the past. Aren´t there always two sides to a coin?  |

Fairport played a rock club in Gothenburgh, Errols - mostly known for punk bands and crowd - 6 April 1986. The new formation surprised and pleased
the diehard fans and a capacity club crowd. A great folkrock evening!!

I seem to recall that Theakstons was on for the first three years at least. Have memory of drinking their Best and Old Peculiar at one of the early ones after the Farewell. |

Apologies, I stand corrected. '81 Broughton Castle was indeed also Theakston's, according to the programme. Can't remember '79 & '80 (driving home straightaway afterwards, therefore not heeding the bar) & can't lay my hands on the '79 prog, but '83 > it was Wadsworth's. |

This probably isn't the right place to ask this, but still...does anyone know if Peggy has a brother who had a pub somewhere in the SW in the 80's? I remember going in to a pub somewhere on the way back from Glasto (to Hampshire) in (I think) '85 and seeing the place plastered with Fairport memorabilia. That was a Wadworths pub as well....and I seem to remember there being a Pegg on the licensee plate over the door. However, I might well have imagined the whole thing.... |

The Broughton Castle one.... was that me stuck on the left hand side next to Simon? Jude - at first sight, that's what I thought... but on closer inspection, it looks like there's a ciggie in evidence by the mike stand. It might be just a trick of the light (or my poor eyesight), but - it's not Swarb is it? (I'm so embarrassed here in case it realyy is Jude!!) The spotlight making his hair look much lighter - tho not blond(e). And he would be standing by Simon with RT being on t'other side of the stage... There will be a grovelling apology from me if I'm wrong. |
