In Pictures: Richard Thompson headlines second day at Cropredy Convention

Stand-in headliner Richard Thompson brought the second day of Cropredy Convention to a close on Friday night.

The former Fairport member headlined in place of Trevor Horn who withdrew due to illness last month.

In a stark comparison to Cropredy’s opening day, festival goers enjoyed glorious weather all day as acts performed.

Cropredy was opened by Black Water County and there were sets by Silverblues, DeWolff, Baskery, Elles Bailey, Big Big Train, Spooky Mens’ Chorale and headliner Thompson.

Last night, keyboard virtuoso Rick Wakeman headlined, playing the classic album Journey To The Centre of The Earth in full.
