	eBROG - Royalists & Roundheads / Cropredy Bridge
		At Cropredy, dragoons appear to have replaced lancers as the "mounted units of chrome".
		Cropredy, curiously, allows cavalry to fire (their pistols, I assume) at a range of 100-200 yards (two hexes), even though the "effective" range of these weapons was rarely over 30-50 yards!!
		But, in Cropredy, the command system portrays this in such a simplistic format that the resultant effect on play is unsatisfactory.

	Cropredy Festival ( Fairport Convention )
		The Cropredy Festival is one of the largest, weekend long, folk festivals in the UK and is the setting for the annual Fairport Convention reunion, running for over thirty years now, where the band gets together with friends and many other folk bands and singers to entertain and delight.
		The festival setting is in a number of fields adjacent to the small village of Cropredy, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, and is relatively easy to travel to with major road links nearby and, I believe, buses are avaiable from Banbury station during the festival.
		Cropredy is apparently famous for some battle or other that took place over Cropredy Bridge although I must admit I had never heard of this before I first went to the festival.

		As Cropredy 2004 had the potential to be the last hurrah of one of the most intimate, yet successful, large-scale gatherings in the UK festival diary, the regrouping of the forces and the return of Cropredy was akin to a phoenix's rise from the ashes, a miracle in itself.

		And, for me, as a local resident of the area, it's the amazement that a quintessentially English music form (which is so underrated and ignored by people in its own country) is supported by so many people from far-flung foreign lands, so many of whom keep coming back.
		If you like to travel in general, anticipating the whole experience that is Cropredy is a highlight of the year if you're lucky enough to be able to go.
		Koen: There was a very good line-up this year at Cropredy, but if I have to pick one it'll have to be Kevin Dempsey and Dave Swarbrick, because it was the latter's official comeback after his illness started and the Daily Telegraph subsequently published his obituary, obviously prematurely.

		She's one of my favorite singers, and this was apparently her Cropredy debut (she was there in 1999, when I last attended, but she only appeared as a backup singer for Amos Garrett, which was a huge waste).
		Cropredy folk received this generously but obviously didn't know the words - but a real festival highlight for me and my date c) Wall of Death - this was a full on singalong down in front but RT didn't seem to notice...
		After a morning walk round Cropredy, where I (along with a host of beer-and-breakfast consumers contentedly munching in the cemetery) witnessed the heinous spectacle of Morris dancing outside the Red Lion and saw canal boats called "Sloth" and "Meet on the Ledge," I headed for the field.

	Walk #631: A circular walk from Cropredy
		As I neared Cropredy along the A361 I was disappointed to see that the stream (a tributary of the River Cherwell) was in flood; this affected the latter part of the day's route.
		I was fairly drenched as I entered Cropredy and followed the road as it curved around through the village, and eventually I reached bridge 153 over the canal by a little Spar shop.
		At this junction turn left and follow the road southwards for a little over a kilometre into the village of Cropredy, and then as it curves to the left follow it until a large junction is reached.

		Headlining the first day at Cropredy, Lindisfarne appeared on stage, beer in hands, to open with a much folkier version of Fog on the Tyne.
		The tunes that were to follow were a mixture of acoustic ballads and guitar filled folk-rock.

	Cropredy
		So what if he is, I hear you cry, but to show you how rare that is in UK folk-rock circles, he was the only fl performer at Cropredy this year, and other than Edward 2 I can't think of many others on the UK circuit.
		I enjoyed watching his drumming style, especially with his high backlift but I can't honestly say the effect was any different than when Dave Mattacks occupies the seat.
		Ric Sanders is an amazing fiddler, but he cannot stop running around nervously, joking, laughing, adding remarks to Dave Pegg's Final Words To Cropredy (on behalf of himself and his wife Chris the wonderful Cropredy-organizers) and making musical mistakes and correcting them at the same time.

		From humble origins, Cropredy has grown to three days, with more than 14,000 people in attendance.
		As guitarist and vocalist Simon Nicol announced, "This next song was written by Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick in 1970." Chris Leslie, Dave Pegg and Nicol shared lead vocals on "Walk Awhile," a song written by two original Fairporters who have since left the band.
		After that, everyone who'd attended the festival in the past knew there was only one song left -- Richard Thompson's "Meet on the Ledge." It always seems as if practically everyone who performed at some time during the weekend -- and even some who didn't -- may turn up on a very full stage.
