We are very very pleased to be able to announce that Midge will be playing this years Cropredy Festival in Oxfordshire on Saturday August 9th.

For those not in the know the festival is hosted by English folk / rock legends Fairport Convention - however the festival should not be considered a "folk festival" by any sense of the word - as this years line up - featuring Supergrass, The Levellers, Joe Brown, The Muffin Men (a Frank Zappa tribute act) is as varied as always....

Midge is playing the prestigious "special guest" spot just prior to Fairports headline slot - typically a 3 hour + show !!

Tickets for the 20,000 capacity event, which generally sells out well in advance will be on sale from March 1st

The release date for this seems to have gone back to December 2008 !!!

We would suspect this means - "forget it" !!!!

If we have any more news we'll let you know !!!

Midge has two tracks - If I Was & Dancing With Tears ...... on a new double CD and DVD (catchily entitled "Das Konzert") of the concert he performed at in Wolfsburg for VW on June 3rd 2007 with the all star band "The Soulmates"
