About this event
Doc'n Roll FF Presents: A legacy built on music. A journey defined by resilience. A final act no one saw coming. In 2022, Dave Cousins, frontman of British folk-rock pioneers Strawbs, travelled to Cape Town for what was intended to be a simple recording session. Instead, facing cancer, he delayed treatment and endured eight months of isolation to complete his swansong. Featuring Rick Wakeman and Tony Visconti, this intimate documentary captures an extraordinary period of artistic rebirth, friendship and sacrifice, culminating in a triumphant final performance before 25,000 fans in Oxford. The Magic of It All is a moving tribute to Strawbs and the transcendent power of music in the face of mortality.
