RICHARD HOUGHTON
Cropredy Capers – Another People’s History of Fairport Convention
spenwood books
Following on from 2022’s Gonna See All My Friends, described by Prog magazine as ‘the equivalent of getting chatting to a fellow fan down the pub’, comes another volume of fan stories about Fairport Convention.
The book mixes tales of Fairport playing both their annual Cropredy Convention in Oxfordshire, dubbed ‘Britain’s friendliest festival’, and elsewhere, along with stories of off stage exploits by the Godfathers of British folk-rock. Brimming with images and memorabilia from fans and the band’s archive, this book is a fitting tribute to almost 60 years of Fairport Convention
