Hello all, got back yesterday from Fairport's Cropredy Convention in Oxfordshire. What a wonderful weekend. We got tremendous sets from Stevie Winwood, Richard Thompson, Seth Lakeman, Ralph Mactell and of course Fairport Convention and met loads of really nice people. Just to add abit of spice to the music, also appearing were Buzzcocks (OK) and Dreadzone. Dreadzone played a set on Saturday afternoon. Described on Wikipedia as an eclectic fusion of dub, reggae, techno, trance, and folk they took the place by storm with a large proportion of the crowd up and jumping. A storming set!!!!!
As usual the crowd ranged in age from 0-110, the beer and food were both excellent and the music fab. However the weather was, unlike last year, beautiful. A far-out experience!
Even the festival pratts couldn't spoil it, and so, to the idiot who got a bit stroppy when my wife (pictured above) got a bit upset at having fag ash flicked on her (bare) knee, to the stupid bitch who thought we were trying to push into the food queue and to the even stupider bitch who ignored about 30 people waiting for a pee and just marched straight into the cubicle in front of me I'd just like to say that even you couldn't come near to spoiling the weekend. Love & peace!
Back to work at the webface now.
