Legend at the Royal Albert Hall

DeLorean

Great Scott, this was an amazing show! And who doesn’t want a car with a flux capacitor in it.

Hadestown

This was a show we went to to celebrate somebody else’s birthday. It really was a fantastic evening out.

Fairport’s Cropredy Convention

I love this festival which is a very special part of August for us. So this limited edition and beautiful leather badge is absolutely wonderful.

Roger Dean Dragon

It’s not uncommon for people to buy me presents from Cropredy festival. This one though is pretty special, coming from the Roger Dean stall (Yes, he of the amazing artwork, pun intended). And I do absolutely love dragons.

Kingfisher

A second badge from the bird exhibition. It was from a set of three but I gave the third to the birthday girl.

Puffin

We went to see this exhibition at the Natural History Museum for a birthday treat (not mine). I had a soft spot for the puffin badge of course.

Green RWCMD

Another badge from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. This one was a present as I yet again failed to visit the show myself this year.

The Longest Johns

This is a badge I nearly didn’t get. A bout of Covid prevented me going to the London gig we’d been planning to attend for months. Luckily we managed to grab tickets to the Southampton show a week later so I didn’t miss out. So much fun (and singing along)!

Festen Survivor

This badge is definitely pretty special – as I designed it and had it made, for myself, my family and most of all for my daughter who staged managed this show.

At The Barrier

I don’t think I can do better here than to share these folks’ review of the festival. And yes, I managed to acquire a couple of these – people know I like badges.

Cropredy Festival

Another year, another amazing festival.
