You talking about the splendid bashes at Cropredy, there? I'm a veteran of the last 13 of them myself...... Going this year? Mostly Autumn & Jethro Tull are playing (also, if rumours are true, it could be the last one) |
Then you just missed me Jim. I moved to Amsterdam 14 yrs ago but before that, a regular...coincidentally, yesterday I was looking at some old photos of me and my mates in our teenage years, Croperdy '86, when Bob Plant got up on stage with Fairport and did a folk version of the Lemon Song. Sweet!

Ah, you should have been there in '93, then, when Bobby Plant was on stage with them for over an hour, doing a full-on set of Zeppelin songs - much to the bemusement / chagrin of the arun sweater wearing, beardy trad-folk fans....... they weren't happy & actually complained to Fairport afterwards  |
Yes Jim, the 'finger in the ear' brigade can be a bit dogmatic about their folk. Or perhaps possessive is a better word. God forbid a group of "hippy types" should hijack THEIR music. What really gets me is the fact that FOLK, by its very definition, is the music of the common people, and not the sole property of a bunch of elitist, middleclass, volvo driving, pipe-smoking, real-ale-swigging computer programmers from Milton Keynes.
I may well go this year, especially If it's going to be the last. Do you know who else is playing?

 It has come full circle: That's former Fairport vocalist (sadly, dead now ) Sandy Denny singing with Plant on "The Battle of Evermore."

That's right, and as you mentioned it, "the Battle of Evermore" is a prime candidate, no prog fan could deny this track as being Prog-friendly. Zep seem to be a firm fave with progheads, and no one's even mentioned their brilliant if somewhat over played (I wonder why?) "Stairway to Heaven". My favourite album is Zep 3, (their most acoustic/folky album) the best track being "Thats the Way".

Tell me about it man, I'm 37 already! No news on KS as far as the Prog archives go, but you could check out any number off other sites (google them, there's loads to choose from).

THE THOUGHTS OF EMERLIST DAVJACK:(BUT I CANT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE BAND ...THE NICE????????)

UFO, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly. They all have their prog moments.
If you like prog metal: Try the first album from Iron Maiden (especially the song 'Phantom From The Opera') or Judas Priests 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' (AAAAh, Victim Of Changes!!  ). A very progressive death metal band are Mercyful Fate. Try their album 'Melissa'. Very loud, but great riffs!

Yeah, Dude, lots of the Celtic/"electric traditional" stuff could fit here, such as:
Fairport Convention - "The Wounded Whale" & "Tam Lin" (to name only two)
Steeleye Span - "Jack Hall," "Two Butchers," "Long Lankin," "Edward," "Lady Diamond," "The Prickly Bush," and "The Old Maid in the Garrett," plus a hundred other songs I could easily name -- hey, my Celtic collection is bigger than my prog collection!
But one classic Irish trad/prog band, in particular, belongs on the Archives proper, and I repeat: Horslips, Max, Horslips! (Ask any Irish hippy!)
Enjoy the music! Lots of kinds of music! (But especially prog!)
