Well, a lot more will be coming out if he's successful in the legal bid against the awful Celtic Music https://www.gofundme.com/f/aatux2

Dick Gaughan : Handful of Earth   on vinyl, in the new year from topic.  For those who  haven't bought it yet,  and you should :-)

True and Bold is coming out too.  

I hope more of DG's  back catalogue surfaces .  

Misalliance  :  Misalliance  (Wild Goose cassette, 1991).

Misalliance  were Tony Hooper's   trad folk project, running alongside The Strawbs. They made 3  albums in all, the first only on cassette  , the others on tape and CD.

I've  listened to this one a lot over the years. The 2  female singers are very good,  and I've always liked Tony's voice. Sad to  say he passed away a few years ago.

Check out the Haar. We've seen them several times and enjoy their music a lot.

Got my tickets  

Yes, it's expensive but we look forward to it so much we're prepared to make sacrifices to go.

The line up is pretty much as we expected - I'm a huge Turin Brakes fan so V happy to have them back, plus the Spookys and Hayseed Dixie, who I missed last time they played due to a problem with a never-ending pint glass   I shall check out the rest of the lineup over the next few weeks. I've never seen a bad band at Cropredy, plenty I'm not bothered if I never see again, but never a bad band. I trust the organisers.

I do think this could be the penultimate so there's no way I'm missing it!!  

Raul Malo was an amazing singer, and The Mavericks were a great band, live and on record. As a solo artist and with the band, Raul played Austin regularly. Nevertheless, I saw them only once, last year at the Austin City Limits 50th Anniversary celebration concert. I think they played three songs. They were always on my list, but somehow I always found a reason to say "next year." R.I.P. and thanks for the beautiful music.

Matt Bragg is a great comedian. I’ve seen him a few times.  I don’t think he’ll offend anyone - amusing observational comedy

Was just reading that - very sad.  A major talent.

its a no from me I'm afraid after attending for many years I think my Cropredy days are over now. But boy did i see some great acts over the years! Bands and people i had always wanted to see but never quite managed.
