Between Twickenham and Teddington, in the southwest corner of London just a stone’s skip down the Thames from Eel Pie Island and a dingy cradle of British rock called the Chisnall Club, grammar school mates David Cousins and Tony Hooper came of age in the mostly horizontal urban area known as Strawberry Hill. And in the shadow of Hill House—famed correspondent Horace Walpole’s stately Gothic Revival villa—Cousins and Hooper saw light in both American bluegrass and the sound of skiffle sultan and British folkie Lonnie Donegan. Just across the river, in Kingston on Thames, London native Sandy Denny was feeling her way onto that same burgeoning folk circuit. “I met Sandy Denny at the Troubadour in Earl’s Court in late 1966,” Strawbs vocalist, guitarist, and banjoist David Cousins said. “I dropped in late one night to hear an angel singing. Sandy was sitting on a stool, wearing a white dress, a straw hat, and playing a Gibson Hummingbird guitar. When she came off stage, I introduced myself and asked if she fancied joining a group. ‘Who are you?’ she said. ‘Strawbs,’ I replied. ‘OK,’ she said. I went to the pay phone and called Tony Hooper to tell him we had a girl singer.”
