Listening to… Those bands in the Cropredy lineup that I’ve not heard of. I do this every year as I like to know a bit about all the bands, and I enjoy them more live if I’m familiar with their music.
So far I’m really enjoying Barbara, formed by Brighton-based brothers Henry and John Tydeman. They’re a bit quirky: visually like Sparks, musically like I don’t know who! Is it pop? I shall be in the mosh for them anyway  I might see some of you there. |

I can't help thinking that with how folk festival demographic must be drifting, a Blue Badge must now be a fairly low bar.
(Yes I have one.) |

Disability access is one area where Cropedy wins hands down . On the two occasions that we've needed it , due to ankle fractures, they have been excellent to deal with

No intention to offend nor question/judge your own situation, I am aware how hard it is to get a blue badge, from helping relatives…just wanted to note that it is common practice to ask for additional information, so a complaint might not be upheld.

I can understand it’s upsetting, if not asked before…but I don’t think this would be seen as discrimination, it’s really for the benefit of people requiring adjustments. A blue badge is essentially just an accessible parking permit. For wider facilities, supporting evidence can be requested, to ensure the correct facilities are allocated to the people who need them and the legally-required reasonable adjustments can be made. At a quick Google of other festivals’ accessibility arrangements…it looks like Download and the BBC Radio Two in the Park asks for free registration with a scheme called Nimbus Access Card, which would require similar supporting evidence, Green Man asks for PIP, DLA or GP evidence for certain accessible arrangements. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'for the benefit of people requiring adjustments '. As far as I have seen the only adjustments given on accessible fields are that you are closer to the arena and accessible toilets and showers and in the case of Cropredy close to the scooter charging points. People over state pension age are not able to get PIP but can get a blue badge with disabilities, physical or hidden and it is not an easy process to go through. I don't want to get into a discussion over what can be seen as a disability, but I don't think it should be down to the ticket sellers to make that decision. |

There's a spirit of fine vintage acoustic music in this thread at the moment. I'm playing a lot of Bert Jansch back catalogue at the moment. Surprising how many live recordings of Bert I've accumulated- one of them turned out to be in 2 versions, single and double CD. A 2006 gig in Sheffield.
