Email just received from Fairport states, "Talking of Cropredy, tickets are selling very quickly indeed for our ‘right sized’, reduced capacity festival that was such a hit last year. 85% of the 6500 tickets have now been sold so if you do wish to attend, please book asap to avoid disappointment".

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to go but not having yet bought tickets... Smiley


Which would be 975 tickets...


Well...972 as I bought 3 after posting...!  Grin

West Coast Folk Festival last weekend in Blackpool.

Could Do Better - Honey & The Bear (dull to my ears although they seemed very nice people), Jon Boden (he's never been my thing) and Webb Sisters (who I didn't get last time and my opinion wasn't any different this time).



Sorry to hear it - we saw The Webb Sisters with Leonard Cohen (twice) and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. All three times, they were very welcome presences on stage. LC gave them mid-concert minisets each time, which were bewitching and well-received. I wish they'd come to the States again in some form or fashion.


Thanks John, The Webb Sisters can certainly sing and are pleasant and unoffensive but that maybe is the point?

West Coast Folk Festival last weekend in Blackpool.

Very Good - Blackbeard's Tea Party

Good - Nick Harper, Seth Lakeman, TRADarr (who were short staffed), Baskary, Louise & Chris Rogan and Hazjak(?).

Could Do Better - Honey & The Bear (dull to my ears although they seemed very nice people), Jon Boden (he's never been my thing) and Webb Sisters (who I didn't get last time and my opinion wasn't any different this time).

Well run festival without any drama - roll on to the fourth.


Glad you enjoyed Hazjak. Used to catch them regularly when I live in West Yorkshire. Always a lot of fun. You've reminded me that I still haven't bought their second album.

The fellow from the duo, Steve Chapman-Smith, was, I believe, the original bassist for Red Lorry Yellow Lorry though he'd left by the time they released their first album.

The latest incarnation of Ten Years After at the very wonderful Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre yesterday. Ideal Cropredy band.


Down to just Ric now, I think?  I saw the original lineup at the Reading Festival in 1983, and I thought they were, lets just say, 'unexciting'.  I think there's an album of it somewhere....  Lovely venue!
