TURKEY LEG JOHNSON

Turley Leg Johnson was a Strawbs side project to keep members of the band occupied whilst Dave Cousins ws otherwise engaged. Featuring Rod Demick, Hud, Chris Parren and Brian Willoughby, they played bluesy self-written songs, and frequently played a support set at Strawbs concerts.

They played a whole series of gigs around London pub venues in July to Sep 1987.
