| The
Strawbs have enjoyed major success on both sides of the Atlantic.
In the early 1970s, as well as the hit albums, their hit singles
"Part of the Union" and "Lay Down" topped
the charts. From the mid-1970s they spent more time in the
States and Canada where their albums charted for five years
as they toured, among others, with Santana, The Eagles, Peter
Frampton, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Walsh, King Crimson, and Frank
Zappa.
Thirty years on from their huge album chart successes,
'Grave New World' and 'Bursting at the Seams', the Strawbs
have reformed and are currently touring the UK and Europe
including this exclusive London date following their spectacular
acoustic performance here earlier this year.
The Classic Rock Society recently presented Dave Cousins,
leader of The Strawbs, with their Lifetime Achievement Award
celebrating thirty years in
rock music. The award was presented by former member of
the group, Rick Wakeman. The much loved Sandy Denny made
an album with the Strawbs before she joined Fairport Convention.
