Ken Laws 1951-2007 Drummer for Hudson-Ford
On a sad note, we are sorry to post of the passing of Ken Laws, a consummate musician and drummer with Hudson-Ford. Ken appeared on several Hudson-Ford albums and hit singles by the group along with extensive touring with the band and appearances on Television including " Top of The Pops " and " Old Grey Whistle Test. " Continuing other musical pursuits through the years after Hudson-Ford's fold. In 2002, Ken married his wife Maryanne in Blackpool and in time, made Atlanta, GA his home in the US. Early 2006, Ken became ill, soon to be diagnosed with an inoperable Brain Tumor. He would have been 56 on March 30, 2007.
For more on Ken Laws and Hudson-Ford / Strawbs fans to send their sympathy and condolences to his wife Maryanne go to www.strawbsweb.co.uk
Update: A Memorial service for Ken held April 3, 2008 - 4PM at the Hinde St. Methodist Church in Marylebone, London for friends and fans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera Upcoming Book In The Works...

NEW STRAWBS BOXED SET! ~ "A TASTE OF STRAWBS"
The vision behind this CD collection is that it will include all the Strawbs tracks that ought to be in a boxed set, but virtually none of the versions that even devout fans will currently have their collection. Accordingly, it is sourced from the Strawbs' own archives and other sources ~ unreleased songs, demo versions, alternate mixes, live material, all of which will absolutely delight Strawbs fans everywhere! The release date is planned this Autumn. John Ford’s bass wizardry, as well as, some songs he penned, will be on this 5 disc, 48 page book & boxed set "A Taste of Strawbs" - a must have upcoming Strawbs release! For more info on how to procure this set - go to the Strawbs site www.strawbsweb.co.uk and visit Witchwood Records also carrying releases from the John Ford Solo CD catalog. RECOLLECTION, 2006
After Dragonfly failed to achieve commercial success, Ron Chesterman decided to leave: Cousins and Hooper decided to go for broke. Recruiting Rick Wakeman they took him to Paris (he spent his honeymoon there!) to play at the Rock'n'Roll circus. Shortly after their return, the final piece of the jigsaw - the rhythm section of the Velvet Opera, John Ford and Richard Hudson, replaced Lyndsay Cooper on string bass who'd been with them for the Paris trip. The group was now an electric outfit. In the run up to the triumphant QEH show which became their third album Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios, the band developed the new repertoire, and reshaped the old folkier numbers over the course of a short tour with Roy Harper. A trip down memory lane and a stunning archive release. John Ford on vocals and bass.
THE WITCHWOOD PROJECT, 2006
This is a new sampler featuring tracks from recent and forthcoming Witchwood Media releases, and includes a hitherto unreleased Strawberry Hill Boys from the deepest vaults and an Acoustic Strawbs outtake, "Simple Visions." Also featured on this 14 track CD Sampler is "All The Songs I Never Heard You Sing" from John Ford's "Heading For A High" CD. It was issued with March/April copies of subscription only magazine of the Classic Rock Society, which also included a Strawbs double page spread. For details see the Classic Rock Society website. "The Witchwood Project" will be available from Witchwood Records, price £6.00 - an absolute bargain!!!
