Biography
Ronald George Arthur Chesterman (27 November 1939 – 16 March 2007) was an English musician. He is best known as the original double bass player with the Strawberry Hills Boys along with Dave Cousins on guitar, dulcimer, banjo and vocals and Tony Hooper on guitar and vocals. Formed in 1964, the band were renamed the Strawbs in June 1967 when they were giving a concert and needed to put the name of the band on the stage. Chesterman left the band in 1970 - they would go on to have hits with Lay Down and Part of the Union. In later years Chesterman became a county archivist in his home town of Chester. He died in August 2017.
