I see there are numerous arguments raging over the future of the Sidmouth Festival with far too much petty political point-scoring and mud-slinging from many of those involved. So this is a happy thread to say how wonderful it is that the Cropredy Festival will be staged as usual in August 2005 having originally been threatened with closure following the sad departure of the Festival organiser. Those planning on giving Sidmouth a miss in 2005 should come to Cropredy. All will be welcome and you won't find any of the angst affecting Sidmouth. All you will find are 20,000 happy folkies revelling in the special Fairport family atmosphere.
