50th Anniversary Tour

Here's a shot from the Strawbs great 50th Anniversary Gig at the Cheese and Grain in Frome tonight, featuring from left to right Chas Cronk, Dave Cousins and Dave Lambert.  

The Strawbs are a British Prog Rock band who were quite big back in the 1970s.  For most people, if you've heard of them at all, it is probably because you have come across their chart single "Part of the Union" which despite its popularity was not actually that typical of their stuff.  

Cathy, my sister Janet and Incredibish and I have enjoyed a fabulous evening at the gig.  Brilliant as they are, it is painfully obvious that they are all getting on in years now and that, as a result, they may not be able to keep gigging for that much longer.  It was fantastic therefore, to have caught them while we still can.
