Glad you decided to join us....I was impressed by your user name. Also glad you liked Alice...she's still going strong for an old lass.
And while I'm here... Temperance Movement at Greenbelt? Sure has changed since I were a lad.

Well, you see, this happens every year around Cropredy and very few ever bother again unless they want something

Agreed, but have to say that due to the sell-out this year it has generated quite a few more than in previous years

Good evening. I am David Missen and am based in the Far East (ie Norfolk)
I thought joining Talkawhile might let me get more out of Cropredy another year- it would be good to get the gossip in advance.
I first saw Fairport at Reading Uni in 1978ish, again in about 1988 and at Cropredy in 2010 and yesterday
Pretty wide ranging tastes. Folk definitely, but prepared to give most things a go (see below)
Cropredy, and prior to that Maddy Prior & Friends- or possibly Al Stewart
I would like to say "The Full English" (which I would thoroughly recommend and have in the car), but actually it was a bargain bucket "Best of Pat Benatar" bought yesterday - a bargain at 2 quid!
Tonight Sir Robert, I will be Al Stewart and will sing "Old Compton Street Blues"

Have I just passed the initiative test by working out that new posts come at the BOTTOM of the page rather than the first screen you see? It only took me about 30 minutes (you wont hurry me- I come from Norfolk).

Hi there!

1.   Who are you and where are you from?

Jimmy, I'm a student and freelance web developer from the northern parts of Sweden. That is to say a place where the sun never shines and you need skis in the middle of June Wink  Well, not really. Actually it's pretty nice here, but I wouldn't mind having less cold winters (below -30*C sometimes) and a bit longer summers.

2.   What made you join Talkawhile?

I'm a really big fan to folk music in general. I'm also planning for a radio project which I will probably write about here to get some feedback.

3.   What do you know of Fairport Convention and/or Cropredy if anything?

Uhm... I'm sorry, but not much to be honest. Wink

4.   What kind of music do you like?

Folk music in general. Especially Celtic though as I play the tin- and low whistle myself. I'm also singing in a couple of choirs. I'm not only listening to folk music, I tend to listen to various types of music. Though I try to stay away from the annoying pop music that all the local radio stations here seem to love...

5.   What was the last gig/festival/recital/concert that you attended?  What was it like?

Well.. That's a good question. There aren't really many festivals/gigs here with the kind of music I enjoy listening to. A couple of days ago I went to listen on a military bagpipe band though.

6.   What was the last CD that you bought?  Would you recommend it?

The very last CD wasn't really for myself. So I'll take a previous one: Swedish Folksongs by the (not very well-known) Swedish tenor Dagfin Malm. Yes, I would recommend it. It's a quite old recording but he's a good singer and of course I would like to hear some Swedish music as well Wink

7.  I'm afraid I can't really answer this question. I've never been able to tell which singer I believe is "the best". Right now one of my favourite songs are "Kilkelly" performed by Robbie O'Connell
