SoundSwap: JOHN FORD IN CONCERT

John Ford of the Strawbs returns to the PWPL on Friday, December 8th for a special SoundSwap holiday performance live in the Lapham Room. The band will be playing some seasonal covers from your favorite artists that you will be encouraged to sing along to! Their set list will also include songs from the Strawbs' hit albums Grave New WorldBursting At The Seams, and Settlement, as well as pieces from The Magic Of It All, the band's most recent album that reached the Top 20 in the British charts in 2023. John Ford and his band will also perform songs from his latest solo release, Life In A Foreign Town.

As a member of the Strawbs, Ford co wrote the band's chart topper, "Part Of The Union," and he also charted in the 70s with Hudson Ford’s hits, "Pick Up The Pieces," "Burn Baby Burn," and "Floating In The Wind."  Ford was also a member of The Monks, whose Bad Habits album attained double platinum status in Canada. The John Ford Band also performed at the Strawbs' three day 50th anniversary event in 2019 at the Strand Theater in New Jersey, where the Grave New World also was performed in its entirety for the first time. Ford has recently returned from a U.K. tour with the Strawbs that included co-founder Dave Cousins. The band's last-ever live performance at the 2023 Cropredy Festival in England took place in front of 22,000 fans.
