[trubbel1000]

thanks for a great concert back in Egham 1988

[Grendel650]

TheraptorXX, thanks Matey. Beleive it or not (and I understand the responsibility) but you guys were responsible for my current tastes in music, and my rather curious dancing techniques! All these years later, I just want to say Thanks for great times! You guys were stars!

[Quinnfordray]

I love them?!

[ConArTiStpro]

Cob you legend we miss you. fi.

[Roberto9722]

Theraptorxx,sorry to hear that some of the band aren't still among us.But I hope you and the others are doing well !(and don't get to fat...wink)

Anyway,a lot of good memories here about the Cropdusters,thnx!

[Roberto9722]

Man,if you're ever playing in the Netherlands again,please let us know...!

[Theraptorxx]

@Roberto9722 if we are, I will. Unfortunately its a bit unlikely. Some of us are dead, some of us are bald, some of us are fat and I'm living miles away from the boys! Thanks for the comment, though! X

[tenebrae70]

@Theraptorxx i originally come from Southampton, i remember the 'hoedown' tour @1986? i bought the t-shirt n the 'good times' EP. The Cropdusters live gigs were fantastic (even wen playin at 'the bridge' in Woolston!) I also recorded a TV programme off latenite ITV which a part of the interview took place in the back of the giggin van talkin about Johnny Cash... The Cropdusters were so seriously underated, thank god for youtube!

[fionaowen]

Great posting. Hadn't thought about The Cropdusters for a while; introduced to them by my wife, Emily from Milford on Sea. Yesterdays Cakes my favourite. Saw them live in Southampton. Drive George Drive supported (knew Steve the guitarist). Or maybe BIC?

Laser beam in my dreams would love to see that performed. lmao when I was at Endorset and some whippersnapper said Cropdusters are a rip off of Pronghorn went on to tell 'em the History of Cropdusters and Pronghorn; Yeah Cropdusters have made history and it should be taught in schools to all the ignorant.

[Nurke]

Maggots do a good cover of this too, but its not a patch on the Dusters :)

[aceofblades666]

[ludovica36]

Good to see Cobert once more. Bless Him . RIP mate

[crazydiamondmike]

Cob will be greatly remembered for his brilliant fiddle playing. I saw him many times in the Cropdusters. I think they were better than the Levellers!

[PjotrOrtsev]

outragious

saw the a few times in the ninetees

in the melkweg amsterdam

still love these guys...

[gasmania66]

Thanks Theraptorxx for the videos posted. Sorry to hear about Cob. I have been into punk music for thirty years, and I think you had the perfect mix between punk and folk music. Poppin out to fight a war is my favourite. Cheers!

[flootweed1]

Cob - you may be gone but you'll never be forgotten

[stegnest]

Fantastic , can't wait to Endorse it, thought never see you guys

[VICTGANN]

Cracking tune!!! These boys are shite hot Live - they still going????

[Theraptorxx]

No mate, unfortunately. We split about 14 years ago and Cob the fiddle player died from a good life almost exactly a year ago. Cheers to ya!

[VICTGANN]
