PRESS KITS AND BIOGS

Promotional biographies - find out what your heroes' favourite colours were....

1968

STRAWBS IN DEPTH, 1968
Full scale promotional pack with lots of details about the likes and dislikes of Messrs Cousins, Hooper and Chesterman

I have been asked by the late Tony Hooper's family to post Tony's correct date of birth, 7 Sep 1939, rather than 1943. No doubt pop managers in the 60s thought pop fans would lose interest if their idols were that much older than they were, and anyway this pop thing would never last ....
