Cropredy is a pretty village five miles north of Banbury in Oxfordshire and the next annual Fairport Convention reunion dates have been confirmed as Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th August 2010.
This is quite a special festival and well loved by its many devotees - quite an event that's non commercial and cares about the fans who attend. Expect to find good food, good ale, good people and good fun at this one - and it should be noted that this festival is particularly family friendly and trouble free.
This nine minute video gives you general scenes around the concert arena, campsites and backstage.
