Quo: Cream Of The Crop’?

Status Quo and Rick Wakeman And The English Rock Ensemble are among the big names playing the Cropredy Festival this year.

Celebrating its 30^th anniversary, the event is organised by Fairport Convention and happens in Banbury, Oxfordshire from August 12-14.

Others confirmed for the bill include Little Feat, alt. blues rockers Dixie Bee-Liners and folk orchestra Bellowhead. Oh, and 3 Daft Monkeys as well – we don’t know what this Cornish lot sound like but the name made us chuckle! Let’s not forget that Fairport themselves will also be appearing.

Tickets go on sale from March 1. Find out more at www.fairportconvention.com
