Richard Thompson and Iain Matthews are mentioned as special guests for Fairport's set, so it's a pretty solid bet that they will both be playing during the weekend.

Sure enough, I was wrong about the capacity for Croppers 2027.

The latest Fairport newsletter says they're sticking to a capacity of "around 7,000".

The continuing impact of the smaller capacity is twofold.

1) It keeps Cropredy financially viable

2) The funds for booking acts are less than would have been available in pre-COVID days
I have every sympathy with 1) and know that they're going to do the best they can to get the best acts they can afford.

I urge everyone to support the festival, especially in their 60th anniversary year.
Let's have a celebratory festival and a great time.

The man who pleaded with the early Beatles to "mach schau". Was known to sing with them occasionally.

Also featuring the return of Edward II!
They played Bodelwyddan this summer and were excellent.
I didn't realise that.

The first festival for many a year that I've watched every single minute of music on the main stage!.

Another thumbs up for Hippies, Thugs and Heroes.
Wow! Where did this come from?
Great songs with no filler, excellent sound with a consistency across the album that makes listening to it almost like being at a gig and, of course, superb playing throughout.
Even the singing is a revelation, with a confidence in Richard's voice I've never heard before.
It's a shame about the fade on Pauper's Grave, but that's a minor quibble. Fantastic album.
Only playing two albums in the car at the moment, the RT and the Mojo Waterboys freebie.
