Acoustic Strawbs were formed by accident after Dave Cousins and Brian Willoughby (members of Strawbs) were booked to perform as a duo in Twickenham in 2000. Cousins damaged his wrist and Dave Lambert stepped in to cover while Cousins sang. The format was successful and tours were arranged. Brian Willoughby stepped down in 2004 to concentrate on his work with Cathryn Craig and he was replaced by Chas Cronk who added bass pedals and acoustic bass guitar as well as extra vocals and guitar to their first studio effort, Baroque & Roll, released 2001
