The May meeting had a musical twist! Gareth talked us through:
- A History of Cropredy Festival – leading to Gareth's involvement
- What exactly is a music festival (is it that easy to define?) and how does Cropredy compare with the competition? What is the secret to its longevity?
- Structure – annual time schedule and a description of just what happens in the 3 weeks they are on the farmers’ fields
- Impact of festivals/gigs on the national economy - Impact of Cropredy Festival locally – both good and bad
- Unforeseen problems/headaches that crop up – road works, business rates etc.
The future – how long can Cropredy continue?
