I'd still put some money on Show of Hands
So hope you are right,(and with Mr Beer there for Feast of Fiddles,it might happen)saw them play last week and they were fantastic   I asked Phil Beer about FoF at Cropredy next year when I saw SoH at the Stables recently...............he seemed surprised about the booking  |

My dream lineup for any year would always include Fairport Steeleye & Jethro tull. Infact I would have the main act for each night as one of the above.
I was not sugesting changing or fixing anything. Sorry, Taliesin, yes - you were..... However saying that Cropredy should not simply have a band because that band was there the year before is ludicrous. Sorry, I don't agree....even with the best bands, the secret of a good festival is the mix & match. There are plenty of good bands out there that you could programme the likes of Cropredy for at least 5 years without the need to repeat anybody (other than FC, of course) I suspect that Digance is due for a rest unles he's willing to write some new material.... hence my opinion & continued opinion that a Folk event such as this Ehhh? Cropredy hasn't been a 'folk' event for at least 10 years, and probably longer than that. As has been evidenced by various members of the band saying so over the years.... Yeah, Ok, yes I'd love to have it how I like it, though I know that'd never happen, hence why I'm saying I'm not suggesting fixing it, I was saying that how I'd have it if I had my way, though as I say I kno0w that'll never happen. Digence is one of these odd acts, he's one of those guys that on one hand I initially wouldn't be bothered about, but when he gets up there I find myself riveted & find myself not going around the stalls & also hanging onto the contents of my bladder till the end of the set, something which is a real compliment for any act up there. And yes I suppose Cropredy hasn't been a Folk event for some years, however for me I'll always see it as a Folk event, combined with Rock music, & anny dumbing down of the event would be very sad. Not everything has been of my taste of recent years its true, even some of the supposedly folk bands, but I've nearly always looked forward to certain headline bands, though was really disapointed by one of the supposedly Folk ones (which I wont name, as I know some people actually like them) |

This is heading straight to the bar for a discussion on what "folk" music is.  |

I was only joking, as if FC would ask HW to play Cropredy anyway there would be too many bikers, crusties, repeats to fade... *btw, joke & coat, and going home* gong on the other hand... |
