Currently listening to 'Anything That Moves' - the brand new CD from Helen and the Neighbourhood Dogs, which popped through my letterbox today. Very nice, too. It came with a hand written thank you card. Good customer service, Shane!

Hello all.

Due to the extremely dry spell currently in Cropredy, we have had to make the following decisions.
we cannot allow any open fires or fire pits.
there can be no charcoal BBQs especially disposable types.
gas cookers must be elevated off the ground on sturdy structures such as tables. This does not include a pile of stones or bricks.
We expect the main festival to make an announcement later this week, and we will follow their guidance.
I know this sounds harsh, but we have to make it safety first.
Any questions, contact me on

Days out from my Brigadoon re-appearing.
Exited as always. The "Stuff" settling nicely to offer at the toast. For me Cropredy is so much more than the music and I love it .

Sadly, a highlight will be the pre festival Traddarr farewell concert in Banbury on Wednesday evening. I will miss them so much. But there are highlights on the bill, Turin Brakes are just excellent, Hayseed Dixie are always fun and if the Spooky Men don't entertain then you are hard to please. I could hear Thomo playing Wall of Death, Vincent Black Lightening and Tear-stained letter every night and Vent du Nord are just pure folk rock and class. Then there is the musical all about the Perloo Masacre on at Cream of the Crop on Wednesday night (formerly Field Eight) best beer in the area at the best prices ,good food and free admission. They have Leatherat on at 4-30 on Saturday . (Everything at Cream of the Crop is Free Admission) by the way up against Richard Thompson on Friday there are the outstanding Skalectics.

All in All , this should equal last year as one to remember. See you all there , and I hope in particular at the toast.

As for the Modern Times tour, I have a photo of the band, signed over a few Cropredys, but I can't currently find it.
