Unhappy news just in that Ken Laws (Hudson Ford drummer and all-round nice guy) is seriously ill with an inoperable cancerous brain tumour. He had had surgery...
Wishbone Ash are a favourite of mine, too, the first 4 albums were 'the future of rock'n'roll' at the time. I disagree that they sound 'thin now'. May be true...
For sure Ken Laws has always been in my thoughts. I have since listened to his work with Hudson- Ford with a deeper level of meaning. My hopes and prayers are...

DSOM (1) was my intro to Pink Floyd, and I was too young and too distant to get to see the tour. I did manage to see the whole album performed in the early...
Dick Can you find out what Ken's favourite Hudson Ford or Strawbs track is, and perhaps the Strawberry Mousse Boys could record it at Bilston to send to him? ...
Doug, the comment posted was out of context. Here is my original post on that Do any of you Americans recall an American band with prog rock leanings called...

I've seen Wishbone Ash a number of times over the past few years and they still sound great. Their recent album "Clan Destiny" has that classic twin guitar Ash...
Dave Cousins' voice is certainly an acquired taste, but once you've got the taste you're certainly hooked. I've just listened to This Barren Land from Deja...

I seem to recall A&M's distribution through RCA, this being before BMG and PolyGram came into the picture--one ad or another in a music magazine (think it was...
Doug, if you hated the Beatles' original version of "I Am the Walrus," you'd probably have hated Spooky Tooth's cover of it, from 1970--it's featured on...
Sorry you missed it too Calli, look forward to seeing you both soon. Where's Andy Slack?? Chesterfield review please Andy (assuming you were there!) Lindsay ...
Sorry, Lindsay, due to broadband problems I can only get on line at work so very limited in time I can spend emailing. Enjoyable concert though less anecdotes...
Ah yes Pete, but after your discourse from Stratford, mine would only pale into insignificance and so I tossed into the river Avon on the way to the Car Park,...
Nigel, don't sweat it use this simple form: Universal Strawbs Review The night was 1.Lovely 2.Hellish 3.The mist has hung low all day 4.The birds have left a...
Andy was definitely there along with myself, Al Jameson, Steve Wright [a lurking Witchwooder] and 38 others. Attendance was as you'd expect when the only local...
Andy's back on line (at least for the moment) Not much to add to what Mike said except to mention that I always enjoy New World being sung with passion. A bit...
LOL Pete. And on the road with the band, Nigel's exploits lead him to possible carnal pleasures..... but when in his hotel room with his new friend, he...
I would have to agree with Doug. The difference in songwriting themes between Roger Waters and Dave Cousins is truly apples and oranges; you can't really...
I liked what I heard of the XM Live album, ... like ... a ... John Wetton's resume has got to be nearly as impressive as Aynsley Dunbar's; I can't think of a...

... Yes, this is one of the main reason I love him - one would think after all these years it would sound over the top, like so many 70s bands, but it doesn't,...
I first heard WishBone Ash in''73. A gorgeous balled called "Everybody Needs A Friend".. a stunner on every level, Their guitars sounded so vocal, the ...

For me Dave's voice was/is the big draw to the Strawbs. I don't want to sound like a swooning adolescemt here ( well, maybe I do) but I'm always knocked out...

Very funny Pete! Lindsay (p.s. - where do you fit into the "Petes Scale", bearing in mind we already have big, medium and little. Just wondering, as you do!) ...
Thanks Andy and Mike - shame it didnt sound up to what most of the other gigs have been though in terms of sound and turn out etc. - do you know whether the...
