One of the most under rated singers of my generation - Lay Down by The Strawbs in my Top Ten best ever pop singles.

Their 2 TOTP performances are on editions hosted by Jimmy Savile.

Very sad news, I saw Strawbs and acoustic Strawbs both in very tiny venues. Oliver Wakeman was on the keys, who is equally talented as his father. Dr Cousins has been ill for sometime, fans were hoping he would pull through for the final farewell tour.

Fans do laugh that the only good album that Pickwick put out was Sandy Denny with The Strawbs. I never was keen on Sandy's voice same with Anne Briggs. It's an album to have for the collection.


Broken Hearted Bride is one album people should own.
