I did notice a large quotient of goth/metallers and...yikes!....chavs, attending. Sadly, I think there'll be a lot more of that in future Cropredys--idiots just there for "the scene" (i.e. an excuse to party) and not for the music. Pixie and I were heading back to the tent after catching most of Fairport's set--and we passed by two kids, couldn't be more than 17, maybe 18. One of them actually said to his mate, "What's this shit playing--it's doing my head in". I was too stunned to even respond.<BR/><BR/>I was surprised RT didn't stick around either. I thought he would at least do a couple with Fairport--same with Swarb..or even 'The Guv'nor"--but nope--that was another disappointment.<BR/><BR/>Yeah--next year's the 40th anniversary of Fairport turning 'professional'--so next year's hopefully will dwarf this year's. We're going to check the line-up--if it's not "shit hot" (as the kids say)--we may be heading to Green Man '07.The Purple Gooroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543217482152905385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28890376.post-1155754801797236242006-08-16T20:00:00.000+01:002006-08-16T20:00:00.000+01:00Thanks for the nice review, mate.

I can't believe that people who actually went out of their way to buy tickets for a festival like Cropredy would then go and rob the other punters! maybe they don't really like folk-rock but it's worth their whole just to get into the site. Really sad.<BR/><BR/>Something that seems amazing to me is that RT would actually be at the site and not play a set!! I mean, he's been touring all year. How difficult is it to plug in a guitar? Maybe he has a definite policy of not playing there two years running? Or perhaps he knew he would dwarf everyone else on the bill that he would make them look a bit sad?!<BR/><BR/>Shame the festival wasn't as good as you had hoped. Still, there's always next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
