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. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02ZJrejknFXZ5kYhxJL2v8AiocN9koCRczaRyHhrf7Z7PS9x61YBan36qP12Ehv2jwl&id=100063697865098 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!

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.

Quote from: ColinB on December 19, 2025, 11:11:43 AM "Bass-wise, I stopped using the Fender. I was tired of people talking about the bass sound of the Stranglers, I just wanted to blend in. I used a dodgy Yamaha and it didn't last very long. I punch my guitars a lot just to get them to resonate – you do a chord and then hit the body. This particular one, I hit it and it just fell apart.” A deserved fate. Jules

God I loathe those basses. Jules Agreed, but I did understand why they became popular for a time. Funny thing is I don’t think I’ve seen one in photos or on stage by anyone since about 1991. Figure someone would bring it back like the mellotron or the Keytar in a retro mode! Nice clip though!. Even JJ Burnel of the Stranglers abandoned his Fender for a stick bass back in the 80s. From an interview in Guitar World talking about their Feline album... "Bass-wise, I stopped using the Fender. I was tired of people talking about the bass sound of the Stranglers, I just wanted to blend in. I used a dodgy Yamaha and it didn't last very long. I punch my guitars a lot just to get them to resonate – you do a chord and then hit the body. This particular one, I hit it and it just fell apart.”
