Sandy died tragically young as others have said but you must listen to Liege & Lief by Fairport Convention who were the originators of English folk rock as we now know it Sandy is sublime on this record. Also listen to the Albion Band a collective through out the 70s, I recommend ‘Rise Up Like the Sun’ the Gressford Disaster. Quintessentially English! For a touch of the Irish strongly recommend ‘Horslips, The Book of Invasions …..All the best!

@MadrigalDream 2 года назад

FOTHERINGAY was The Band that Sandy Denny formed after leaving FAIRPORT CONVENTION. She wrote this as well. It's important to note that She is also The Only Artist to be featured with A Guest Spot on any Led Zeppelin Album - She's the Vocalist with Robert Plant on THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE. She is Utterly Important to Music History. The Truest of Artists ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@rebelalien5523 5 месяцев назад

If you love this, you should check out her song by the same title as this band name. Fotheringay is one of her songs that was done by Fairport Convention on their 2nd album, What We Did On Our Holidays. It is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

It makes me so happy to see you guys discover her. I discovered her in 1993 randomly on a radio program and when I heard her voice, I went down a decade long rabbit hole devouring all music connected to her❤ Her birthday was January 6th. I call this genre New Old music… my absolute favorite ✨

I first heard this song on a sampler called Bumpers, cost 29 shillings and 11pence [£1. 50p] . It was my introduction to Sandy Denny. I was lucky enough to meet her at a gig circa 1972 and she signed my albums. Her repertoire has been extraordinary. Check out her solo albums, you won't be disappointed. Thanks

@Jonathanart-jm9fx 2 года назад

I am so pleased that you have reacted to Forheringay. Sandy Denny had such a beautiful voice. You should definitely hear a song called Banks of the Nile from their one and only album. And then there are the early Fairport Convention albums - a folk rabbit hole.

@davidholiday4494 Год назад

Absolutely....Banks of the Nile is incredible - her vocal is beyond words and, I feel, an example of her greatest artistry.

@dennishoelscher6620 10 месяцев назад

I lived in Khartoum,Sudan in 1961-1964. What a great experience living on the Nile River where life for many at this time had not changed for thousands of years. The British Colonial footprint was still very prevalent at this time less than 70-80 years after the Mahdi and his Army of Jihad gave the British a difficult time to say the least. The English Gunboats were still in use for tourism and we lived near one of the battlefields. I would find pieces of weapons and exploded artillery. The desert is a place where items last for centuries. When I first heard Banks of the Nile I was instantly taken back to where I had lived and could visualize so much about what Sandy was singing. A incredibly beautiful song and Sandy sings it so well. I heard Fairport for the first time in 1969 and am still very into all the variations that have come and gone. A big Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny fan for life. I miss Jerry Donahue’s guitar playing as there was no one like him.

@michelemichele3375 2 года назад

Oh yes. The same vibe and raw emotion as Nick Drake and, of course, comparisons to Joni will be made because her voice soars. This was the world of Fairport Convention and It’s a Beautiful Day and the Incredible Sting Band. Sandy left Fairport Convention to sing in Fotheringay. She was said to have Keith Moon (The Who) as a drinking friend and hookups with Frank Zappa when he was in London. She died so young. Great request and reaction. Thanks ✨🤪

Sandy Denny started with the Strawbs before becoming a founding member of Fairport Convention and later forming Fotheringay. She also sang on Led Zeppelin’s “Battle of Evermore”. Fairport Convention is worth an exploration - so many great British players had stints in the group. Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, Dave Swarbrick, Jerry Donahue, Bruce Rowland, Garry Conway…and Julie Dyble ( before Sandy Denny joined)

@rikconverse8726 2 года назад

Fairport was also a leader in the British “Renaissance Rock” movement that gave rise to artists like Nick Drake, Lindisfarne, Amazing Blondel, The Incredible String Band, and especially Pentangle! (Worth a deep dive on the group and the individuals as well) Also check out Gryphon!

Fotheringay is the artist. Sandy Denny became her own thing later. Wiki Sandy Denny and you'll see the bands she was in. 'Folk/Prog'. Lost her much too early in her career. Always thought of her as part of the female quintet of female English singers from back then...Sandy, Maddy Prior, Sally Oldfield, Annie Haslam and Jane Relf. Nick says, ..'I, uh, yeah' ...... 🤣He's hooked. 😁 Just got back from a record show (yes....vinyl.....that old stuff). Glad I caught this early. Bravo to the requester. English Folk/Prog is definitely worth checking out. Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, David Swarbrick, Richard Thompson, Strawbs (earlier stuff), Pentangle... Love you two....keep it up. Keep exploring the 70's prog scene. Best music ever as it was about the music. Not hits, not dancing, just sit down, shut up and listen and float away.

@FloatingAnarchy61 2 года назад

Nick, you probably know Sandy Denny without even realising it, because you've said before you're a Zeppelin fan. Sandy is the other voice on The Battle Of Evermore from Zep 4. Originally she was in Fairport Convention, staples of the British folk rock scene, who also featured amongst others Richard Thompson, one of the most underrated guitarists ever. She sadly died of a brain haemorrhage after falling down the stairs. She had the voice of an angel, but could also out drink anyone, and considering she counted John Bonham and Keith Moon amongst her drinking partners that's no mean feat. I'd recommend her version of the old folk standard 'She Moves Through The Fair. There are countless versions of this song, but Sandy's (a home recording) is just beautiful.

@FloatingAnarchy61 2 года назад

To add to my previous comment Fairport also recorded She Moved Through The Fair. It's a great version with psychedelic overtones, but Sandy's acoustic version sounds more intimate. If you like this sort of folk rock style I'd also recommend Trees album On The Shore from 1971. The band only released two albums, and On The Shore is now regarded as a classic of this genre, but was overlooked at the time. And of course the daddies of this scene (apart from Fairport), Pentangle. They also had a female singer, Jacqui McShee. They also featured the guitarists John Renbourn and Bert Jansch (who Neil Young described as 'the Jimi Hendrix of acoustic guitar'). Bert and John also released an album imaginatively called Bert And John which is great. Pentangle also included amongst their ranks bass player Danny Thompson who also played with John Martyn most notably (John's another rabbit hole), Nick Drake, and Richard Thompson. .

@merrillhess5626 Год назад

You took those words out of my mouth. I was just getting ready to mention all those artists and recommend them just as you did. To this day Bert Jansch is still my top acoustic guitarist/songwriter hero. On The Shore by Trees is a masterpiece, every bit of it. Another group that went almost unnoticed was Forest. They did two albums Forest and Full Circle. They did psychedelic folk and you could tell they were inspired by Incredible String Band. To me though, Forest was more visionary and magic. Their first album is more like ISB and is truly wonderful. Their second, Full Circle, is more polished but also more advanced musically, similar to the difference between the two albums by Trees. The first is good but the second is a masterpiece.

@14gilbertst 2 года назад

She has no music that isn't worth repeated listening. Search for her live BBC performances. Banks of the Nile is another masterpiece from this album.

@arthurmarx6427 2 года назад

The British folk scene was very active in the late '60s and early '70s. Notable groups included Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, Pentangle, and Stealer's Wheel, along with individual artists like Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Ralph McTell, and others, many of whom played with the aforementioned bands. You can easily hear the influence in rock bands from The Beatles to Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd to Dire Straits. Lots of moving parts, and plenty of great music.

A short lived but great band. The band was named after Fotheringay Castle where Mary Quenn of Scots was imprisoned. "Fotheringay" is also the title of a beautifully haunting song by Sandy about Mary Queen of Scots. Sandy was the only non band member to appear on a Led Zeppelin album track, "Battle of Evermore". A sugestion; "The Lady Rachel" From the compilation album "Odd Ditties" by Kevin Ayers. If you hadn't heard of Fotheringay, then I doubt you will know of Kevin Ayers, different genre, but still very English. He was a founder member of The Soft Machine. This track has a pre "Tubular Bells" Mike Oldfield on bass. Mike was in his band "Kevin Ayers and the Whole World".

If you haven't reacted to Fotheringay, the song, you might consider it. Hauntingly beautiful. enjoy your reactions very much.

@markdrechsler5660 2 года назад

Fortheringay were a one album offshoot from Fairport Convention. You might recognize the singer, Sandy Denny, from the Led Zeppelin song “Battle of Evermore.” She was the only guest singer to ever appear on a LZ album. Denny was a member of the Strawbs, then Fairport Convention, then Fotheringay, and then had a solo career that lasted several albums. One of the defining musicians of British folk rock of the late 70’s. The guitarist is Trevor Lucas, Sandy’s husband at that time. And the drummer, Gerry Conway, played for Cat Stevens for many years, and ended up in Jethro Tull during the 80’s.

"Fotheringport Confusion," at the beginning of this video. Sandy Denny was in Fairport Convention but left to form the band Fotheringay. They made one and a half albums (the second was released 30 years later), and then she went solo before rejoining Fairport Convention for one album and a tour before again going solo...many of her songs from both Fairport Convention and Fotheringay have been released under her name as compilation albums. Many of her accompanying musicians such as her husband Trevor Lucas, Richard Thompson, and others played on albums with her under all three names.

This song was used not long after its release in a black and white TV documentary about the potentially lethal flooding of the River Thames. It had flooded in the past causing many deaths in London. "Fall and listen with your ear to the paving stones. Is that what you hear? The coming of the sea?" This is the inspiration for the song. It even mentions London Town. Flood barriers were built across the Thames in later years to prevent the risk of flooding. I heard it then, as a child and it has stayed with me, haunting, ever since. Beautiful!

I heard this beautiful song on BBC Radio 2's Folk Show last night so looked for it here. I also looked for the lyrics and it would seem the songwriter foresaw sea level rise. It was predicted by 1970 anyhow so maybe she just had her eyes open, unlike so many others. You stopped listening before the verse about how the sea will take London town. Have a listen.

This is a lovely album, but quite unusual you should start with this BEFORE her more famous work with Fairport Convention. They were the creme of British folk-rock. Okay, and after obviously enjoying this, you definitely need to hear some Richard Thompson, who was guitarist and songwriter with Fairport Convention in the late 60s/early70s and is still active today (Might go on my list for requests in the distant future.)

The principal vocal parts are taken by the amazing Jacqui McShee, with John Renbourn and Bert Jansch on guitar, backed by the auth'oritative double bass of Danny Thompson. By way of a sampler, check out _Light Flight_ ('From Basket of Light' - 1969), and for a more folksy introduction to Pentangle's musical style - and the sheer musicality of Jacqui's voice - the traditional _Let No Man Steal Your Thyme_ (from their first album, imaginatively entitled 'The Pentangle', from 1968). Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, and Jacqui McShee - vocally, all sisters under the skin - but each with her own unique 'sound'. Something to put in your 'Explore Later' folder, anyway ;-)

Hope you're both feeling a bit better. Don't worry, I'm hearing a lot of this for the first time too! Glad to be adventuring with you.(and Marley) Cheers !

Such a beautiful, angelic voice. I see where she draws comparisons to Joni Mitchell.

@markturpin5667 9 месяцев назад

The guitarist is the superb American blues guitarist and producer Jerry Donahue and the drummer is Gerry Conway who backed Cat Stevens and played with Jethro Tull. To see them perform superbly well with Sandy Denny I strongly recommend watching RU-vid: 'Fotheringay Live at the Beat Club (1970)' Bremen, Germany.

I supect your 2000 album was a Sandy Denny compilation . She sang with Fairport Conventio , The Strawbs, Fotheringay and Solo. She also sang on a Led Zepplin track.

@jimled50jl49 2 года назад

Such a lovely song. I have never heard this before. Thankyou for playing....You two really need to listen to music by "Clannad" - "The Theme To Harry's Game" / " Newgrange " / "Herne" / "I will Find You" / & the wonderful haunting track - "Caislean Oir" So many albums and tracks to choose but those mentioned will leave you wanting so much more..... Trust me - Never mind doing a reaction - I know I'm not able to make a request but just for your personal pleasure - Listen to "Clannad" & the voice of an Angel. X Jim

@mickcapewell6369 2 года назад

Now you need to hear A Sailors Life or Matty Groves by Fairport Convention! You must know that Sandy sang on Zeppelin’s Battle of Evermore??? There are hundreds of British Folk Rock gems from the 60s/early 70s. YOU MUST listen to Sloth by Fairport Convention. Sandy had left them by then, but the great Richard Thompson was still there. It’s a masterpiece.

@lumpielump3576 2 года назад

the Fotheringay album is one of the best albums ever - don´t miss Who knoes where the time goes and Banks of the Nile - some of the best songs ever!

@andrewhunt3087 2 года назад

There's also a "Fotheringay 2" album, finished many years later by some of those involved originally. It's worth checking out. I recommend "Gypsy Davey", "Late November" and especially, "Two Weeks Last Summer". There's so much out there by her, thanks to some great box sets of live and demo material, the early Fairport Convention albums, her solo albums, even her only live album, "Gold Dust", released posthumously. On and on. A deep dive will keep you very busy. Enjoy. I miss her very much.

One of my favourites. Listen to Who knows where the time goes by Sandy Denny.

@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 2 года назад

Sandy Denny sang the female part in Zeppelins Battle of Evermore. She and Robert Plant were pals……had great fun together. No romance, to my knowledge. I believe that in 1970, Sandy Denny was voted the top female vocalist in England, and Robert Plant won for best male vocalist.

@rudolfbecker4313 2 года назад

Hard to believe, if you've read what Alison Krauss said about the beginning of their cooperation. On the other side, which woman would have said no, if you have a world star's attraction .... and even from my man's point of view I have to say, that Robert Plant was a very attractive man .... probably many female fans dreamt of touching his hair ... oh this curly hair :-)

Could almost hear the waves and smell the salty sea. My favourite Sandy Denny song that she wrote is 'Who knows where the time goes' her best version is with Fairport Convention on the album 'Unhalfbricking'.

The guitarist on this, Richard Thompson is equally revered in guitar circles for his sheer subtlety of tasteful phrasing and Sandys perfect musical cohort in Fairport Convention.''I'll keep it with mine'',written by Bob Dylan is an Absolute stunner.

@tombeyerlein3813 2 года назад

I see that you mentioned Nick Drake. Sandy Denny and Richard and Linda Thompson and Fairport also used Nick's producer, Joe Boyd. They were all kind of a musical family in the late '60s and into the '70s.

@tombeyerlein3813 2 года назад

In fact, I just looked it up and Linda Thompson sings backups on the Fotheringay album. You must hear Linda on lead vocals: "Did She Jump or Was She Pushed," "Walking On a Wire," "Just the Motion," "Telling Me Lies" -- all brilliant! One of the most beautiful a capella performances I've ever heard is Sandy Denny and Linda (Peters) Thompson on "The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood."

@chrisovers8650 3 месяца назад

try "The Joys of Brotherhood", a very English folk, and Sandy Deny's voice is sublime.

@ugurgokce103 2 года назад

Great vocal that makes one's heart tremble. Sandy Danny is a geat Biritish folk singer and artist. Fotheringay is her band in 70's together with her husband. You may also explore her singing together the another great biritsh folk-rock band Strawbs. I recomend the peopla all around the world to listen to the song "Winter Wind" from the Forheringay's untitled album released in 1970. Thank you Nick&Lex to react Sandy.

@michaelwebster8389 3 месяца назад

I thought you were going to listen to the song Fotheringay, which I think Sandy Denny wrote - and was a brilliant song she did with Fairport Convention. This is great, but there's some amazing stuff with Fairport too.

I'm so glad y'all got turned on to Sandy! A friend of mine shared Matty Groves with me over 20 years ago. Another friend shared Who Knows Where the Time Goes a few years before that (covered by Judy Collins). Once I realized Sandy sang it originally, and that Matty Groves was by Fairport, (which Sandy was a part of), I started really digging into Sandy. When my mother died 10 years ago, I played the version of who knows where the time goes sung by Judy... It just matched that particular occasion best, but Sandy's is definitely on the list for mine :) So grateful I had friends with such good taste! I also love her version of A Sailors Life, and Blackwaterside... And everything else lol

@Broonzied 11 месяцев назад

The whole album 'Fotheringay' from which this track is taken is magnificent with several highlights like this song. Sandy singing Banks of the Nile, however, sneaks in and steals the show.

The other magical UK female voice you need to check out is Annie Haslam of Renaissance. Saw them live under the stars at Red Rocks. Ashes are Burning or Mother Russia would be a good start.

After Sandy Denny left Fairport Convention she formed Fotheringay with her husband Trevor Lucas. Then she went solo. One of the greatest British balladiers.

Sandy Denny is the principal artist, a singer with an angelic voice. Of course, the most prominent song is "Who knows where the time goes?" Check out also "You never wanted me" and "Fairwell, Fairwell" She died prematurely but published much treasure.
