Just doing a bit of a spring clean to the site - you know what it’s like, bits of fluff lurk behind piles of things that need shifting. So we’re having a bit of a clear out and putting some brand new things on the site - new photos, music and things to do. So bookmark this page and visit us again soon.
Meanwhile if you need to contact me you can mail me at info@wynndebagge.co.uk or call me on 01952 728283. if you’re looking to catch up with wynndebagge, the baggettes or the new st george waits, the diary has got some early spring dates in it and there are also some new pix on the gallery page. Here we are at the turn of the year wassailing King Lod, the oldest apple tree in the orchard at Sulgrave Manor and we believe the oldest of its type in England. Caps full, hats full, three bushel bags full and a little heap under the stairs. Hurrah
wynndebagge is one of England’s best known players of the hurdy gurdy and English bagpipes. Musician, comedian historian and raconteur, he is above all an entertainer.

What a fab night it was! Dave Pegg’s 60th Birthday celebration gig at Birmingham Town Hall was an absolute triumph with an all-star line-up. Nigel Schofields review of the night’s events can be found at Fairport Convention’s website, Iconic Music plus a wide range of views and some great pics on the Talk Awhile discussion group pages. Here we are all lined up giving Peggy a round of applause and getting ready to sing Meet On The Ledge. Featuring as they appeared on stage were Paul “wynndebagge” Saunders (who he?), Dave Pegg, John Carter, Martin Barre, Gerry Conway, Phil Bond, PJ Wright, Dave Peace, Matt Pegg, Steve Gibbons, Roger Hill, Ric Sanders, Ian Campbell, Dave Swarbrick, Jerry Donahue, Simon Nicol, Chris Leslie, Steve Ashley, Ian Anderson, Doane Perry, Maartin Allcock, Clive Bunker, Dave Hughes, Steve Tilston, Anna rydeR, Oonagh (Gerry’s daughter), Tom Leary, Beth Nilesen Chapman(+ band), Dan ar Braz, Kristina Donahue and Ralph McTell. Phew! The party lasted till dawn though I knocked off at half past two-ish as I’d been on my feet all day. I gather those who missed breakfast went down the legendary Ladypool Road for a curry. That’s rock’n’roll for you.
