Hi Chris & everybody - thanks for raising this, still working my way through a long list!

Please look at my website promoting the book at www.festivalfolk.co.uk for full details, postal ordering and on-line ordering.

The book is 'Festival Folk - a celebration of the unique style of Fairport Convention's Cropredy Festival'. 112 pages containing approx 270 photographs of festivalgoers and performers in all their colourful finery and believe me, there's some fine looking people out there! The photos were taken over the last 10 years.

It's at the printers now and due to me by the end of next week. Apart from fulfilling postal orders, it's first public appearance will be at Tewkesbury on 2nd Feb, although I hope to drop off copies at Cropredy (Bridge Store & Green Scene) on the way over.

It also contains an entertaining 3 page essay by Catherine Hayward, fashion director of Esquire magazine, an erudite foreword by Simon Nicol, and some beautiful celtic artwork by artist Donna Westley.

Finally, profits from the sale will be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust which is the trust supported previously by the folk fraternity through the Hearts of England cds.

Hope you all buy it and enjoy it!!
regards
Joss

I'm sorry, my daughter isn't coming out tonight.

Looks Good Joss. Had problems trying to order it tonight but that was probably down to me and not entering the right addresses or whatever. Have just moved house and haven't caught up with all the change of address details yet.

Anyway. Will sort that tomorrow and get it oredered.

thanks

Many thanks for your orders and expressions of interest. I think you'll find the book different & fun !!  As you are probably aware, 99.9% of music publishing concentrates on the musicians.  I decided to turn my attention & camera to the audience because, lets face it, there's some fantastic looking people/outfits at Cropredy.

As far as I'm aware, there is very little else published in the way of 'music people pictures' - the only two related books I have are Jeremy Sandford & Ron Reid's TOMORROWS PEOPLE published in 1974, and Lynne Elstob & Anne Howes THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVALS published in 1987.  Other books major on the artists.  Does anyone know of any other British festival, or audience orientated books of photographs?

Having said that, I have included pictures of artists too, and Jude (nice to hear from you), there's a lovely one of you, even if I say so myself. I hope you like it too.

Regards

Of course, I could always e-mail you a scan, Jude, but that would take away the fun of eager anticipation!!  No, on second thoughts if I start that I don't know where it will end.

Just a thought (though probably already been asked & answered) but who gives a sh1t cares...

Maybe some copies of the book could be stacked on the CD table at the forthcoming Winter Tour gigs ?

While I am sure FC would like to see maximum 'pocket-money' being spent on tee-shirts & CD's (quite understandably and why not ?).. maybe a little corner can be found for this book for the benefit of the Teenage Cancer Trust ? Roll Eyes

Hi Nuthouse - yes thanks, FC have kindly agreed to sell them on their stall.  I am taking a supply over to Tewkesbury ready for the opening night.

Well that's fantastic.......

I am in the process of catching up as I killed my broadband by downloading a recommended upgrade ! - so I perhaps should have read all messages and links before responding... but what the heck !

Once again, FC show where their heart is....... a glass is raised in their direction... and look forward to picking up my copy !

Best wishes.....

Hey - that's no problem, I do the same myself sometimes, much to my embarassment!

Hope you enjoy the book when you see it. I know I can't wait to see the finished product.  It's all very well checking proofs and so on but they're not the real thing.  The book has been printed and folded, but before the Printers bind it on Monday/Tuesday, they are delivering a final set of printed pages to me tomorrow for one final check.

Thanks Westwind & Basinger - yes USA orders can be placed through the website using Paypal.  Europe is also catered for on the website.

If there's anyone elsewhere in the world who would like a copy, you can either:  use the US$ Paypal facility (the postage & packing charge is the same for anywhere outside Europe, or please email me first & we'll sort something out. email is: thiswaybooks@btinternet.com

I received from the printers a final set of printed pages today - they look fabulous (well I would say that wouldn't I!!). Binding on Monday, shrink wrapping mid week, delivery to me Friday 28th or Monday 31st.

Cheers
Joss
