All Star Fairport Convention reunion curated by Joe Boyd at Barbican Hall July 18 (Fotheringay)

**************

Linde Nijland sings Sandy Denny's beautiful 'Fotheringay' at the 'All Star' Fairport Convention reunion in the Barbican Hall in London (July 18 2009), with 5 original members of the legendary band: Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews, Ashley Hutchings and Dave Mattacks (here replacing Martin Lamble).

This unique, one-off event was curated by former Fairport producer and label boss Joe Boyd and part of a series of events to celebrate the legacy of his famous Witchseason label. Songs of the first five Fairport albums were played.

yeah- I´ve played and sung this for so many years and thought noone is able to sing it as Danny did- but you do it so wodreful and unique- great Linde! Great RT!

I'm kicking myself very hard up the posterior, i missed all this great music, i grew up on Fairport, because of them I've really been bitten by the Folk bug.

Cropredy next year for sure!!!!!!

Linde, wat een geweldig optreden en wat moet het een sensatie zijn geweest om met de grote Richard Thompson op te treden.

[hazymaidens]

So beautiful Linde!~ Your voice is exquisite; a little more feminie than Sandy's but very suitable and lovely on this...Your talent fills every Sandy fans heart with hope!

Wow.... goosebumps like footballs and tears like waterfalls: the only person that is able to cover Sandy Denny (more than) properly does it here with the original band. Linde, your enchanted voice is the melancholy perfection, as always...

Great track - we've just uploaded a duo-version of this tune, hopefully we've done it justice! All the best.

Tears in my eyes, hearing this beautiful song of Sandy Denny in Barbican again after 40 years. Linde on vocals sounds perfect, together with the original members of Fairport.

Klasse Linde. Wat een eer om met Fairport Convention te mogen optreden.
