“music just isn’t this good anymore”

Acoustic Strawbs

One of the most successful folk-rock-progressive bands of the 60s and 70s, they had top ten hits on both sides of the Atlantic, had their songwriting abilities likened to Bob Dylan and Ray Davies, filled the biggest stadiums, and toured the world.

Now, their back-catalogue of songs such as Lay Down and Part of the Union are re-arranged for an unplugged and unforgettable night of beautiful melodies, great harmonies and quite brilliant guitar playing.

“From beginning to end, this veteran group put to shame bands a third their age with the majesty of their arrangements, the craftsmanship of their tunes and lyrics, which remain as socially relevant as they were decades ago….  The band’s vocal harmonies at this stage of their career are tighter and soar higher than anything Crosby, Stills and Nash ever did.”  New York Music Daily
