Aww I missed that! But I was just watching him on an old Top of the Pops, coincidentally!

The other band we recently saw…I have decided to confess…was The ELO Experience!

The front man, Brian Cummings, was totally hilarious…in fact, his first joke was a bit ‘near the mark’ for me and I wondered if it was going to be like that throughout, but actually he was very funny. However, throughout they showed massive respect to the music and to the work of Jeff Lynne. The lead violinist was especially impressive, taking the solos in Living Thing and singing the operatic parts in Rockaria.

The theatre of around 1500 was sold out with mainly more mature folks, all of whom ended upsinging along and some of whom were dancing in the aisles.

So all in all, and entertaining evening, giving due respect to the originals, whom they clearly held in high esteem.


When it comes to The ELO we really love 10cclo who we saw recently.  A great night with a fairly even split between to two bands.  Well recommended.

I saw him once in a pub in Midhurst (billed as Blodwyn Pig) c.'83ish.  20-odd people watching.  Decent!

As I’ve said before I am wary of posting on here as my last Cropredy was 2018, although I went Brase fringe after that.
I am starting to question the word fringe at the Brase.

Several acts here who sit very comfortably on the main stage .
I can’t get down on the Saturday, I’m playing another fest but I will try to get down on other days …it’s about getting down early and finding parking!

They really were one of the most perfect Cropredy bands ever...sun setting at the end of an incredibly hot day...a band of supreme musicians playing music the Cropredy demographic would be familiar with (Joni & Carole), playing it with real skill and affection. No wonder Procol Harum had a hell of a job following them...

One moment I remember was Julie putting out a call from the stage for a certain bass player, as Pete Zorn wanted to play sax on "Raised On Robbery", and Peggy was still at the bar. It was quite funny to see the short delay as a refreshed, been in the sun all day ruddy-faced Peggy ran from the bar as fast as he could, strapped on Pete's bass and played a great version of said Joni song...


Who was the drummer, Dan?

As per the above live cd - Neil Marshall : Happy Accident, Before Us Stands Yesterday, Road Movies era Albion Band sticksman...


Sorry, had missed that.  I think the Brum 80th bash was the first time he'd entered my consciousness.  He was certainly a great drummer that night.
