Petula Clark - playing her first-ever UK festival - has been announced as the Friday headliner for this year's 37th annual Fairport's Cropredy Convention the annual shindig hosted by Fairport Convention.

Also newly confirmed are the Trevor Horn Band for the Thursday, and both of Quill, and C.C. Smugglers, for the Friday.

They join the previously announced acts of Thursday headliners The Divine Comedy, and - guess who? - Fairport Convention on the Saturday. Other acts already confirmed include Show of Hands, Richard Thompson, Feast of Fiddles, Pierce Brothers, Dougie MacLean, Marillion, Cats In Space, Gigspanner, and The Gerry Colvin Band.

As is traditional, Fairport Convention will play on Thursday with a short welcoming set by the band's semi-acoustic line-up to open the festival and celebrate their fifty years with a marathon performance to close the festival on Saturday. Joined on stage by former members and guests, their set will feature the very best from half a century of musicmaking.
