I cant believe that you managed to stay so still while filming. It takes all my willpower not to start dancing like an idiot while re-living the best set I have ever seen. They were unreal and Chris While is the only one who can get near to Sandy, she is wonderful. Swarb was on fire this night, I wish I had seen them forty years ago but I did buy the LP when it first came out and have loved them ever since!

I got pretty good at holding the camera over my head and changing the hand that was holding it, though the bumpiest sections are me switching them...

and the music still sounds as fresh as ever-timeless music and ageless musicians

I might go to Cropredy in the future; just for the folk-rock ambience. I don't actually care for Fairport, I'm more of a Spanner.

Thank you so much for all these vids from Cropredy. I was there and really enjoyed the Liege set. Can't be there this yr so I can watch these & remember... Chris did the best Sandy to date, imo

I swear I never thought I would be that happy about a cowbell in my life. :D Hooray for Swarb. :)

What a gas, I can't believe I'm hearing this, it's as if i've gone into a time-warp, really heart-warming stuff, I just can't get enough!!

Thanks so much for this and all the other Cropredy postings. I hadn't realised that Swarb was in such good nick - after all, the poor bloke even died a few years ago.. in the Telegraph anyway. Joking aside, Swarb has always been a bit of a hero to me and this is a real joy.

Thank you.
