Cropredy 2008
Just back from the Cropredy folk festival. Was very good as was expected. Great to get the gang together again, for 3 days of nearly good weather (Saturday was very wet!). Apparently I got naked at one point, although that’s another story. I also did the Hash House Harriers trail run/hunt on the wet Saturday morning (on on!) which was absolutely splendid fun - huge thanks to the organisers! Following this we were treated to free pints of Wadworths ale (not the best post-run therapy!) and even got to meet Fred West (aka Mr Wadworth - the festival sponsor) himself.

The festival highlight for me was the surprise guest appearance of Robert Plant during Fairport’s set, who sung Led Zep’s Battle of Evermore as a tribute to Sandy Denny. I also very much enjoyed Mark Radcliffe’s The Family Mahone and Siobhan Miller/Jeana Leslie. Such a shame the weekend went so quickly. On Sunday I also explored Banbury a bit - rather a pleasant little place. Can’t remember how that nursery rhyme goes though.
