Just a thought : I understand the band has appeared in North America A LOT over the past couple of years, i.e., three times in 2005, in fact. And it's a...
I remember attending the last reunion gig of the H & H line up where they played "Martin Luther King's Dream" and Dave C stated that they had the pleasure of...
Whilst simpathising with the several American and Canadian fans on these boards, I think it must be very expensive for a UK based to travel to and around your...
I agree with Judi. I believe the perfect timing for a US Electric Tour, however, would be directly following an Acoustic Tour. That way, only one "Strawb,"...

I agree with you Judi.....but I seem to recall Dave C saying that any electric tour outside of the UK would be doubtful in the future due to logistics and...
Well yes, except maybe from the point of view of the band, hacing jst completed one (usually quite lengthy) tour with a certain set of arrangements of the...
Exactly. That's why I suggested just a quick hop over to keep the excitement going mid-Acoustic tours. With the pound so strong, I can't imagine it would ...
You know, Judi has a point. Why, even for myself, my interest in the Strawbs has waned considerably since the last appearance! Bob and I hardly ever discuss ...
So I take it you're NOT in the "out of sight, out of mind" camp then Doug! Maybe less strenuous touring will allow more recording.....she also said hopefully, ...
Dear Mr. SmUrFy, This must have been the last BATS tour with John, Hud, Brian and Blue surely. I didn't make any on that tour unfortunately due to family...

Doug, Looks like you may be still in the throes of your Strawbaholism I'm glad to say. Despite your raging denials, the twist is in the tail "God, when ...
Apart from the economic side of things, it strikes me that putting together an electric tour straight after a lengthy and energy sapping acoustic tour could...
