Hi everyone
As we head towards the close of the UK tour (lots of reviews and pictures

a few updates on various things.
Cheers

LOFTY
=====
Omitted from April's newsletter (my apologies), the sad news of the death
of Lofty, a friend of the band from the old A&M days. He passed away on
4th April, a victim of stomach cancer.
Lofty (private parts - a Strawbs insider joke!) toured with them alongside
Frank ("the general") as part of their stage and sound crew for many years.
The funeral was at 1.30 at Hanworth Crematorium on Wednesday 16th April.

Offer still open to end June for you to buy BHB in advance online from

You get your name in the packaging and a free live CD from Dave Cousins'
March 2008 solo tour in North America. We hope to include some tracks by
Dave on his own as well as some where he is backed by Ian Cutler.
Price: £20 plus p&p.
Offer only available if you buy online. CDs will be released in September.
If you order other items these will be despatched now.
NB. Some purchasers have had difficulty with the Witchwood Records shop -
this is currently believed to be caused by a major upgrade to the AOL
browser. If you have difficulty ordering please contact Witchwood Records.
