Does anybody know who to contact about a pitch at the Cropredy Boot Fair?
I'd start by mailing festival@fairportconvention.com.


I think the football club have a hand in running the Car Boot Sale - there's some info on facebook via the link below, albeit from 2024.

Bob Fox was in good form at Launceston Folk Club last night, despite fighting off a virus of some sort. Could hear it a little in his voice by the end of the show, but it was a good concert, with some fun stories between songs as well.


Fabulous singer and very good acoustic player. It's great he is still playing and singing and I always enjoy seeing him perform solo or in various combos.
