RIP Dave Cousins - Strawbs
« on: July 13, 2025, 07:10:55 AM »
Dave had been in poor health these past few years and had to quit performing to avoid contact with fellow performers.  I imagine it was auto-immune issues related to his cancer treatments. Attended the 50th Anniversary Strawbs Weekender in 2019.  What a Fantastic experience.

Thanks for posting this.  The history of the Strawbs is always interesting to re-read.  Sandy Denny, Rick Wakeman, Hudson & Ford; and of course Dave Cousins.
