There is a certain amount of prejudice knocking about here (I've never been to Crop and I don't hold Jeremy C's views) and I'm aware that he upset some of you some years ago but I can only go on what I have seen in concert which is a very good singer-songwriter and someone who is extraordinarily funny.
who is Jeremy C? I believe he is the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, Jim. I thought he was the bloke who punched a producer at the BBC! |

but what does Corbyn have to do with Digance or is Blagden parading his politics for some sort of effect, as he states that he has never been to Crop (whatever Crop means) and doesnt hold Jeremy C's views.
I think he meant that he's not a socialist, and in this respect his politics are more in tune with Dicky D than some of the rest of us. (But I have only reached this conclusion now that I understand he didn't mean Clarkson.) Jules |

Cropredy is different(better) than all the others because of its little traditions.
We meet noonish at the Cricket Pavilion on Thursday.
Fairport Acoustic open it at 4pm on thursday after the bell is rung in the village.
Richard Digance frolics at 12 noon on saturday (and if you want a referendum them look at the numbers on the field at 12 noon Saturday and then those still there at 2pm).
Leatherat play at the brasenose about 4-30.
We gather to poison each other at about 7pm.
Fairport close it on Saturday night and end with Matty followed by Meet on the ledge.
ANYTHING that changes any of that is a crime against me personally. I abhor it.
Digance MUST play at 12.

Much as I love you Trev, there was a time before Digance at Cropredy............ Cropredy hasn't always HAD a Thursday lunchtime at which to meet. Whilst "Fairport Acoustic open it at 4pm on thursday after the bell is rung in the village." is only in the last few years. As I said before (perhaps elsewhere) the only tradition at Cropredy that really matters is that Fairport finish the festivities. Everything else is up for grabs. If, as ChrisB suggests, this may mean an additional slot for the Fairport family, I'm sure many will be in favour, even if it is only for one year. |

A prime example of the extreme reactions I referred to in my earlier post is kicking off right now on the Fairporters Facebook page !

RD a sensitive soul? Perleeze.....about the least sensitive artist I can think of.
"Anyone have a means of contact?"....maybe his afore-mentioned Facebook page? Doh!
And it seems as though dissenters (although there isn't much expressed support for Digance actually (in terms of % of likers of that page)) aren't welcome there. I'm happy not to be on there! Awful .
Does seem to be split by length of 'service' at Cropredy. Those who have been going longer than Digance have had enough, those more recent Goers are aghast.
Seems as though a hanky protest might be being planned?

Maybe we could have a Jeremy C supergroup with Corbyn, Clarkson, and that chap from the Levellers. Jules |

What pray tell, has Jeremy Corbyn's views got to do with all this? Gawd help us. |

I've already explained this, Pete. Digance is no lefty, and neither, it would seem, is Mr Blagden. Some of Digance's detractors clearly are, and it is after all his political leanings that seem to disturb most of the feathers that he ruffles. Jules |

Richard Digance is a bit of fun on Saturday early doors which a good deal of people have enjoyed over the years, however other opening acts are available and I am sure that if he isn't going to be there next year for whatever reason both Cropredy and everyone who attends it WILL survive and find other entertainment for the 12.00 slot, I know I will. Can you imagine the posts on here if the Bar decided it wasn't going to attend next year, He He. ps I was gutted when Welsh Lamb Oggies disappeared off the menu (hint hint if your listening Oggie stallholder).
