Here’s our Paul Johnson with a little promo of the festival. The music in the background is from the Shanakee Folk Rock Band. They play a mix of original and traditional music with their own slant. Check them out, they’re brilliant fun.

Pre-Cropredy Interviews

Listen to the great interview by our very own Paul Johnson with Wilson & Wakeman. We can’t wait to see them this year with their pure, simple and sensational music.

Paul Johnson talks to Joshua Burnell for our pre Cropredy interviews.
Here our very own Paul Johnson chats to Joshua Burnell about how pleased and excited he is to be playing Cropredy this year, his new album ‘Glass Knight’ that’s being released over the Cropredy weekend and how he and his music can never really be… ‘Pigeon Holed’ or as Paul puts it he is a ‘a moving target!…..

Joshua’s upcoming album – Glass Knight – is released 11.08.23, the same day as his full-band appearance at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention. You can find out more about Joshua by visiting his website, https://www.joshuaburnell.co.uk
