One of my favourite Sandy Denny & Fairport songs - Chris While was superb that night - I was there! Note the presence of Richard Thompson & Dave Swarbrick "guesting" on a classic!
Not that keen on this version, to be honest - the solo RT track off his Free Read box set is the definitive one I've heard. There's something a bit wrong with the sound on this one?
Thanks, this is magic! A lot of people still appreciate songs that tell a story. A tip for Sandy fans: Go to the Jackson C. Frank site, there's a link to a really intelligent article about what's behind her lyrics. It's fascinating stuff!
They should make this a tradition at Cropredy.

Everyone's right, great vocals. They should take her to the studio and make some new material!

Great voice but she hasn't got the soul of Sandy Denny.

I was at Cropredy in 2007 and Chris While channelled the spirit of Sandy Denny to the extent that when she sang this song, I cried.

This girl fills some mighty shoes with her voice and does a remarkable job indeed!

awesome. I'd love them to recruit Ms. While into the group and make some new material in the 'haunting Sandy Denny type' stuff

At their peak,there was not a better band on earth. Time has taken its toll sadly on some of them but they still beat most others into a cocked hat.

Awesome! At first when I saw there was someone singing in place of Sandy I was a little worried, but she's good!
(I'm actually a 2nd-generation fairport fan - my Dad got me into their music and I love it!)
