PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION
=========================

I've recently received several sets of vintage Strawbs photos for the site - some really excellent unseen pix.


Chelmsford Festival 1972
------------------------
Three shots from Steve Schechter of the first gig Dave Lambert played before Tony Hooper had left the band. DL's then wild hairstyle very much in evidence.

Winterland, San Francisco 1973
------------------------------
Britrock By The Bay has published an excellent blog article on Strawbs with photos taken by Dan Cuny from the Strawbs gig at Winterland, San Francisco on May 24, 1973.

A selection of Dan's pix at:

One of the four contributors, David Miller, has created a Rock Scrapbook on the Strawbs - some great album scans and magazine articles. Check out:

Massey Hall 1975
----------------
Steve Jepson sent us some shots from the legendary Ghosts line-up Massey Hall gig in early 1975.

Newcastle City Hall 1976
------------------------
Particularly excited about this one as it was the first Strawbs gig I ever attended. Thanks to Alan Pearson for these shots - some nice ones of Robert Kirby and John Mealing.
