Thread Name: 2025 Obit: Rod Stradling
Subject: Obit: Rod Stradling
I am sad to report that Rod Stradling is no longer with us. Bob Bray gave me the news last Friday, and Gavin Atkin sent me the following:-
This from Taz Tarry on the English Country Music Weekend page on Facebook:
'I'm very sad to say that Rod Stradling died on Sunday. Rod, with Danny, organised the very first English Country Music Weekend in Cricklade in 1977, and was a founding member of Oak, Old Swan Band, and many other influential bands.
'Rod will be greatly missed and our thoughts go to his wife Danny Stradling, son Barnaby Stradling, daughter Hannah Stradling and grandchildren at this time.'
