Dave Cousins, appropriately in a feast of colour for what was the culmination of a great tour. Strawbs gigs are always colourful, both literally and metaphorically. The music is stimulating, the crowds - and musicians - are friendly, and above all it's always fun.

Lead guitarist Brian Willoughby - again the spirit of the occasion is very evident.

Now he's a union man! Bassist John Ford singing the lead on the Strawbs' biggest hit, 'Part of the Union'. John had come over for this tour from the US, where he lives and plays in Richie Blackmore's Band.

It's also been great to see guitarist Dave Lambert re-united with the band again after all these years. Dave's characteristic guitar lines were a prominent feature on the band's later albums in the 70s, it was so great to hear these again.

Blue Weaver goes from strength to strength on the keyboards.

Richard 'Hud' Hudson provides the energy from the drumkit here. He is also the energy behind the Strawbs' re-unions and tours - thanks for all the hard work, man!

Another great Brian Willoughby moment.

Awww guys... it really was great to see you having so much fun while playing such great music!
