The Stranglers, with special guests Hugh Cornwell and his old schoolmate Richard Thompson.
About as much chance of that as seeing, well, another Full House reunion live on stage......... Unlikeliness isn't normally a barrier to posts in this thread, but point taken. Are there any previous line-ups that are now possible? I'd look it up but I'm an asker not an answerererererer today Any line-up from Gladys's Leap onwards, surely? |

Angel Delight and Babbacome Lee line ups COULD still reform, as could Bonny Bunch and Tippler's Tales - they never will of course due go health and other reasons ...
Also the 25 Anniversary Cropredy Lineup could play ...

Madness or Stranglers as Thursday headline
E L O Friday headline
Yusuf as Saturday pre Fairport but as a full set (say 20.00 til 21.30)
then FC 21.30 - 24.00
Not to mention the wonderful Ralph McTell at any point in the proceedings

...then a long stagger back to base camp say 00.01 til 02.00, fitful sleep until either the rain/wind whips your tent away or the first engines splutter into life, then - roughly - 07.00 - 19.00, drive home on motorways. 09.00 Monday morning; Say 'Oh, bugger..!'  |

How about Stackridge?
They'll have to hurry up - Stackridge have announced that they intend to call it a day at the end of this year, after 45 years of playing. Jules |

They played Cropredy in 2000 after a period of disbandment. That Stackridge had, I think, three earlier members (commemorated in the limited release "Pick Of The Crop"). That prompted Mutter Slater to rejoin and, for a short time, this was once again the glorious band I recall from my youth. That was the band that appeared in 2008* (which you can listen to here. But Mutter bowed out a few years ago now and he, for me, was the heart of the band. That period is best exemplified by the "A Victory For Common Sense" album, although featuring a Korgis track ("Boots and Shoes") presaging their forthcoming demise, heralding a full time return to the Korgis brand by James Warren and Andy Cresswell-Davis, which is deemed more commercial. *2008 also had Stackridge opening at Glastonbury, commemorating their opening and closing(!) in 1970 at the first Glastonbury (rather smaller in those days) |

So, basically the same band will now go out as The Korgis? Is that right?

I never knew there was a link between the two bands until now. Jules |

I saw Katzenjammer in Glasgow on Saturday night and am now convinced they'll be the star act of Cropredy 2015. 4 Norwegian girls who play a multitude of (mainly acoustic) instruments between them. 3 of them played drums, 3 played bass (including a weird 3 string bass balaika) and all of them played everything else (guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukelele, keyboards, accordion etc). Oh and the first 4 songs had 4 different lead singers. An incredible live show!!

James Warren and Andy Cresswell-Davis are the core of both bands and I believe that the same backing musicians will be touring with them. I'm a but out of touch as I abandoned them after Mutter quit (again). Andy C-D was keyboard player for Tears for Fears and Goldfrapp in his "downtime", by the way. |
