They were brilliant! X
Definitely NOT cropredy👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
They were a disgrace.
I liked them anything to distract from the miserable sod I was sat next to is a bonus
can i ask who the group was as i couldn’t be there
You hosted Alice Cooper and Ozzie Floyd Show so why not?
I am guessing that not too many of you have listened to Sensational Alex Harvey Band?!! Zal Cleminson has been on the fringe for a couple of years, and a lot of Fairporters were begging for them to be on Cropredy, so a lot of people are happy! Including me 😊
Next year, get Hollywood Vampires on please!
Have to say I didn’t enjoy them. I can accept different genres – that’s how you find out new bands. But didn’t enjoy the swearing
Not really my cup of tea but I accept that the festival should reflect different musical genres. Music that I don’t connect with gives an opportunity for a snooze or a walk. However, I have to say that I didn’t feel that this band was appropriate for the afternoon slot; I don’t take children to the festival and was glad that I wouldn’t have to explain was going on.
Gogol Bordello were far far worse on the swearing front. It’s all part of the act. I can’t believe people are so easily offended. You’ll hear the same walking down any high street. We can’t all like everything but I love the opportunity this festival gives me to listen to something I wouldn’t normally have chosen.
It’s not about folk music. The festival has included all genres. However Cropredy does, or at least did, call itself the friendly family festival so I don’t think bad language is appropriate. And can anybody tell me what all the foul language adds to the quality of the music or the performance?
Absolutely fantastic!
Great energy. Xx
Let’s get this straight – there’s been some appalling language from the stage over the years, and some music that no-one would have associated with a “genteel English folk festival”. But nobody likes everything and bad language is something that we can only control in ourselves.
We don’t have to like all the music that’s performed for us at Cropredy – but there’s no such thing as “not Cropredy music” is there? Not when that stage has welcomed acts as varied as Jools Holland, 10cc, Steve Hackett, the odd tribute band, Petula Clark, Lulu, Pauline Black, Alice Cooper and the Medieval Baebes. Talk about diversity! We just need to have Tinariwen and the Dhol Foundation and Cropredy will rival WOMAD! 😂 Chill, folks.
Yes there was a louder band. The Hamsters, oh and the Leningrad Cowboys, and … Now pose off, with your ‘Desert Storm’ headgear and silly kilts. Shock tactics obscured a competent and potentially enjoyable set.
Potty mouths!!!
My friends and I left the field after the first bout of shouting and screaming…they are by a mile the worst band in my over 20 years of Cropredy.
I enjoyed these. Not the best band of the festival but musically adept and not really heavy metal. Entertaining to see the tutting exodus from people around us! (I am 65 years old ) diversity in music is a good thing.
Totally agree. We all have different music choices but song titles/subject and language at a billed family festival. Plenty of others can deliver the heavier music without this language.
Hey Michele, I was there Friday and Saturday. Interesting diversion but my fave was Frank Turner and then Daphne’s Flight
My 7 year old knows some swear words now which I’m unhappy about thanks to these guys. Should have been on later in the day or a warning given and I’d have taken her for a walk in the village instead. It’s thought to be a family friendly festival and I’m not the only mum who was surprised.
So angry that at a family festival they choose to swear and sing songs about gassing children. So very wrong and upsetting.
Not my cup of tea ,walked round the corner !!
What a racket, not an ounce of musical talent. Definitely not a Cropredy band…
AWFUL
