Fantastic to have the chance to see the 1973-74 Strawbs lineup touring the UK.

Dave Cousins was in vibrant form for this short tour.

Seeing John Hawken was a real privilege - he had come over from the USA for this tour.

Rod Coombes is a superb drummer. The band really rocked.

Dave Lambert was in great form too.

John is a marvellous player with a lovely touch on the keyboards.

Chas plays this 12-string acoustic on Simple Visions.

Rod plays another drum passage.

Chas, Dave and Dave sing the chours on one of the songs. A great gig, and thanks also to the Robin, which has recently been refurbished and is fantastic Black Country music venue.
