I think a respectful amount of time has passed since 2013's bash and i set my mind to wondering just who i would like to see next year
As as starter may i politely request 2 top turns who would light up the stage and delight the paying punters
The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra
and Cheap Trick

Artists I'd like to see in 2014 who have never played Cropredy :
Cheap Trick
The Zombies
It's A Beautiful Day
Suzanne Vega
Jo Harman
Alice Russell
Aynsley Lister
Ian Parker
Sid Griffin & The Coal Porters
The Beach Boys or Brian Wilson & his band
Chas & Dave
Fish (as he plays pre-1990 Marillion, as opposed to the actual Marillion who don't very often)
Yes
Waterboys
New Model Army
Lucy Ward
The Stranglers
Teenage Fanclub
Albion Band (The Next Generation)
Artists I'd like to see return to Cropredy in 2014 :
Richard Thompson (with his Electric Trio)
Chris While & Julie Matthews or Blue Tapestry
Steeleye Span
Dylan Project
Deborah Bonham
Ralph McTell
Oysterband
Show Of Hands
Jez Lowe
Nick Harper
Colvin Quarmby
John Otway (with or without Wild Willy Barrett)
And a few fantasies :
Bruce Springsteen
Eagles
Fleetwood Mac
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
AC/DC
Paul Simon
Leonard Cohen
Alison Krauss & Union Station
This list is by no means exhaustive and I'll probably remember more names in a minute, but one thing's for sure - the relative success of Alice Cooper's appearance will give other artists food for thought. 18,000 + friendly music fans in a field - that's an O2-sized audience, and some of the names in the fantasy list have played there in the last few years. Just a thought...

As I've reached the point where I need something special to get me to Cropredy, like Alice, then the Waterboys tick all the right boxes.
It would also be nice to see

Cheap Trick
Duotone
