It really is time for Judy to have a full set on the Cropredy stage.

Whether the album is out by then or not.

The Ms Dyble for Cropredy campaign starts here, folks !

THE RESIDENTS, at least as interval "music." And of course the annual request for Dave Alvin and/or Jorma and Jack.
Has a zydeco act ever made an appearance at Cropredy, I suspect not. Terrance Simien and the Mallet Playboys would be a sparkling choice.
And while it veers ever so close to the forbidden world of jazz music I do declare most folks would really enjoy Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers, real cool lady and her convivial crew out of San Francircus. Some of them menfolk might get into trouble for sheer surrender to her lascivious treats. I think I posted her likeness here a couple years back. And her band do burn.

Wow, I wish you ran the selection committee, my friend. I would love to see The Residents leading a morris dance.

Seriously, I think zydeco or cajun would be a great place to go, and Dave Alvin is a terrific suggestion. I'm sure Jorma K would get a great reception too, though I confess I've heard very little since Hot Tuna days.

I have never heard of Ms Smith but she too sounds splendid.

Le Rue played their turbocharged cajun years (and years) ago.

Couple more suggestions - JuJu (Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara) and any Mustaphas any.

Reading back through the thread - if Gong were to play, I think Jules would head for the Brasenose...  Wink

Well thanks Joe, first time I recall anyone ever responding in my five or six years of roughly these annual suggestions, fully expecting them to be ignored, oh that Jethro Tull guy, what does he know.
Residents and Morris Dancing, not even something that they have considered yet I suspect, though now that you have mentioned it I will likely be googling it just to be sure.

 What about the new incarnation of The Albion Band with the talented youngsters?  Maybe we'll be cheering them all on in 45 years time?

Just my thoughts anyway...


I'd be quite amazed if the new Albion Band didn't play Cropredy 2012

Great band....although last I knew, they (well, he) was playing weddings (he did a friend of mine's) and pubs.  Sad.

A bit left of field but why not have some standup comedy in the changeover periods between acts. Huh

Don't suggest anything I'm going to be really gutted to miss. It clashes with the visit of our twin towns to Filton next year and (regrettably) I just can't let the people into my house and push off to Cropredy for the time they're here. If they'd gone with either of the dates we suggested to start with I'd be fine.

Doubt you will be disappointed Ronnie-they can really storm it up and do a nice old standard by the same token.
