I offer myself up as an example of the problem they face. When I first went to Cropedy I was in my 20s. I was was working, had a healthy disposable income was fit, adventurous and enthusiastic. My main emotion was excitement. And that was sustained for about 25 years

Now I am in my 60s. My pension will not really stretch to the ticket cost. My knees ache. My back aches. I have various other health niggles. I don't want to crawl around on the ground or sit in a big field in a rainstorm without shelter with 15,000 other people. It all seems like an ordeal when there are much more accessible and manageable alternatives. My main emotion is foreboding.

I suspect I am not alone


You are not alone..😉
Pretty much sums up a similar situation here, albeit tinged with a hint of sadness......

I got bored with FC themselves who didn't seem to be putting much effort into the Cropredy sets for the last few years. It started the year they ran out of material with about 15 minutes to go.   The Saturday sets became the winter tour with a guest or two thrown in and not a lot of spontenaity..  The other thing is due to my feet and knees I can't do standing gigs, never mind 3 days in a field in all weathers, anymore.  I miss seeing the friends but, at 71, not the pain.
     Festivals carried on happily without me before I went to Cropredy for the first time in 1997, I hope it managed to carry on, probably changed somewhat without me.

You do what is best for you. I'm in my 60s and in pretty good health and still looking forward to camping for the festival. Bought my tickets as usual before the line up was revealed but this year has got to be the first year in ages when I've been so disappointed with headliners and sub headliners. Just think the organisers for whatever reasons have not put together a line up that's going to help ticket sales. i hope I'm proved wrong, I really do for the sake of all involved.

Georgia's comments re the box set are in the 2nd newest post


I don't know what I'm missing but I see this.

"April marked the anniversary of my mom's passing, and I shared a post with Carla to honor her memory on the other pages .
Hope you Enjoy what we Did
Love Georgia and Carla

which then links to this:  

"Attention Sandy Denny Family and Friends
Today marks the 21st of April, a significant date as it is my mother, Sandy Denny's Day of Passing . Although I never had the privilege of knowing her, I am filled with gratitude and feel fortunate to have inherited the beautiful gift of her music. I am touched by the countless individuals who continue to honor and celebrate her life.
Being Sandy's daughter has not been an easy journey for me. The absence of her presence has often left me feeling desolate. However, my battle with cancer has granted me a new perspective on life. I now find solace in managing my mother's estate and the various projects associated with it. This work allows me to feel closer to her, especially as I delve into the creation of the new Sandy Denny album, "Songbird". Collaborating with the talented Carla Fuchs and other wonderful individuals on this project has brought me a profound sense of accomplishment and love.
On this special day, I humbly request that everyone light a candle and listen to your favorite Sandy Denny songs. Let us collectively honor, love, and respect her enduring legacy and the remarkable contributions she made to the world of music. Our goal is to preserve her flame and introduce her extraordinary talent to those who have yet to discover it.
In honor of this occasion, I have sketched a portrait of my mother alongside some poignant lyrics from "Full Moon", while Carla Fuchs has graciously created a beautiful cover of the same song. Your comments and respect are deeply appreciated.
Here is the link to Carla Fuchs version of my mum’s -Full moon

Enjoy
Thank you for joining me in commemorating the life and music of Sandy Denny.
All Our love Georgia ,Carla and the SD Team "

So I'm still not seeing anything about the box set....?  Can you cut and paste what Georgia wrote please?

Always enjoyed some BOA after a friend gave me a copy of their X-Rated LP as a 21st birthday present... way back when.

By the way, no-one we spoke to thinks that paying out £200 to go to a festival "for the craic" is a good idea.

Because that's something that comes with going to festivals fairly regularly, it's unexplainable to most people.

Sandy's daughter Georgia has posted on (the Sandy Denny page) Facebook that the "big" 19CD box set is to be (re-)released; Georgia will post more details in due course...


Damn. There goes my pension!  Grin

Jules


Ooof.  At the same time as the mega FC box, this is pure evil!  I'm delighted.

Incidentally, can you post the link please, because I can't find it.

Dread to think what the price of a reissue would be , but probably it will be less than the £900+ I see occasionally on ebay for originals
