So is it going to be the last Cropredy this year? I hear Peggy has run off to France with his new love.

See "Peggy Writes & For Sale" in the Fairports site. That looks like a "Yes" to me.

cos it says "I must stress that none of this will affect this year's Cropredy because Chris is determined to make it the best one ever and we are not sure if it is going to be the last one because of the situation" (That was me at #3 above, too!)

A chance to acquire some lovely instruments and memorabilia, at least for those with a fair bit of money to spare!

Hope all works out well for all concerned.

Dunno if that was the real Peggy or not, but I agree entirely. It's absolutely none of our business.

Very funny- not.

Barb'ry- if you follow the link posted by GUEST 13 Feb 04 - 02:37 AM, you will see that Peggy is very happy for everyone to know the current situation.

The situation re the future of Copredy maybe. Not every minute aspect of his personal life. That's his business.

Hope it turns out ok for them too. Don't worry Barb'ry - don't think you're the vindictive type

In a note added at the bottom Peggy sez:

"For the future we hope to come up with a plan for the continuation of the Festival."

Sounds positive, anyway -

I don't know about others on the list but for me the next two weeks are slowing down, the day when I pitch my tent at the Cropredy camp site just can't arrive soon enough.

Sad thoughts about the possibilty of it being the last festival aside, I really am looking forwrd to seeing those friends I only ever see there, and even a few school friends who have remained in the Babbury area, looking forward to the warm ups at the Mill arts centre and taking my parents to see the Monday night gig as I do each year, looking forward to a slow wake up and a walk to the village school for breakfast, a few pints in the Red lion pub and a few late night songs in the camp site before bed.

Will any other catters be making the journey, looks like a good line up to me.

Will be there, staying with other Catters on the Canal. Usually a fair few Catters to be found at Cropredy!!

Hope it's not the last one because for me it'll be my first. I can only presume that it will be as good as I've been led to believe. Might even make some new friends there. I'll be in the tent next to a grey Galaxy with a tog sticker in the back window.

Why don't you leave Barb'ry alone? There are some smug self-righteous gits in this forum as well as some very nice people. Thanx for the link Noreen!

Speaking of fesivals, i find this an interesting site (from fROOTS)for what festival is on where:-

I'm sure Cropredy will be back in the future at some point (just like Fairport themselves - 'it all comes 'round again'.
