It's still going on - I think

I assume the band still exists in one incarnation or another and hosts the Cropredy Festival it founded in Oxfordshire. They have been an ongoing institution. But when I saw them in Canterbury (UK, that is) some time round 1990, I was fairly underwhelmed: for exciting folk-rock in a rather different idiom, the Canterbury-based Oyster Band could have knocked spots off them.
