Days out from my Brigadoon re-appearing.
Exited as always. The "Stuff" settling nicely to offer at the toast. For me Cropredy is so much more than the music and I love it .
Sadly, a highlight will be the pre festival Traddarr farewell concert in Banbury on Wednesday evening. I will miss them so much. But there are highlights on the bill, Turin Brakes are just excellent, Hayseed Dixie are always fun and if the Spooky Men don't entertain then you are hard to please. I could hear Thomo playing Wall of Death, Vincent Black Lightening and Tear-stained letter every night and Vent du Nord are just pure folk rock and class. Then there is the musical all about the Perloo Masacre on at Cream of the Crop on Wednesday night (formerly Field Eight) best beer in the area at the best prices ,good food and free admission. They have Leatherat on at 4-30 on Saturday . (Everything at Cream of the Crop is Free Admission) by the way up against Richard Thompson on Friday there are the outstanding Skalectics.
All in All , this should equal last year as one to remember. See you all there , and I hope in particular at the toast.
Would have really liked to see Bob and the Peterloo stuff but can't possibly miss the Trad Arr farewell. I thought Turin Brakes played the second best set of recent years, after Brian Wilson of course. Personally, even though I am hard to please, I think this year's line up is far far better than last year. See you Wednesday.
