Strawbs – 40 years

Me with 2 Mellotrons

Just returned from a fabulous weekend in London. It was the Strawbs 40th reunion concerts in Twickenham. Over 2 days we had fantastic lineups which included myself, Dave Cousins, Rick Wakeman, Jo Partridge, Andy Richards, Oliver Wakeman, Rod Coombes, Brian Willoughby, Cathryn Craig, Sonja Kristina, Tony Fernadez, Ian Cutler, Melvin Duffy, Dave Lambert, Chas Cronk, Roy Hill, Robert Kirby + orchestra and compered hilariously by Fred Wedlock.

Sadly Robert Kirby died a few weeks after this concert.

Full details to follow

Agreed,fabulous weekend. So good to hear the Mellotrons on Grave New World, in the flesh. I have a few pics if you’d like. Nice to chat too, and thanks for inviting me to the MTK MTH do which was great fun. Loved your playing of Emily’s song on both occasions and I look forward to its appearance on this board at some point.
I’m off to see another Mello exponent tomorrow – Barclay James Harvest. OOhh! The 70′s nostalgia…..

All the best, Tony
