Fairport's Cropredy Convention 2011


At the end of a disturbing week, it was good to see thousands of people relaxing and enjoying themselves at the Cropredy Festival today. The picture on the left shows Horslips - an Irish Celtic rock band - getting the crowd in the mood with their rousing set. The photo on the right shows the finale with Fairport Convention and friends on stage.

Amazingly, this is the 36th festival - it has taken place every August since 1976. Despite the closure of a section of the A361 Banbury to Daventry road for a flood alleviation scheme, the traffic control and parking seemed to work with the usual efficiency - thanks no doubt to the planning of all involved.
