Ain’t No Sunshine is one of my favourite songs. RIP Bill

No idea when my show will be broadcast on GF FM so I've uploaded it to Mixcloud. I think our tech guy is having some problems with the scheduling on the internet-radio website.

Personally I can’t see it happening, especially as the headliner is 69 year old Seasick Steve supported by a 71 year old Richard Thompson. There is also the matter of getting them here from the US.

Bold or reckless?  I wonder.  Personally, I've not seen one thing that makes me believe that a large gathering of people will be possible in the UK in July.

Underneath the Stars has been cancelled/postponed to 2021.

Folk by the Oak still holding their nerve. https://www.folkbytheoak.com/festival-info/coronavirus-info/

Just watched it through - really entertaining, and I think you've captured the "friendly family festival" vibe perfectly. Congratulations!

Well folks, it’s here!

Summer by The Cherwell, our documentary film about the history of the Cropredy festival!

Many of you made donations to our crowdfunding campaign to make this possible, and for that we are eternally grateful.

We’ve been hard at work at this for about a year and a half, and we’re really pleased with how it has turned out. We really hope you like it too.

Damn. Another one of my favourites. So much more than just a soul singer. If you have never seen the film Still Bill I highly recommend it. I actually thought he was a little older than that.
