Urbanaspirines :: JUDY DYBLE (3 Albums)

Trader Horne: Morning Way... Plus 1970 + Judy Dyble: Talking With Strangers 2009 + Anthology Part 1  2015

The earliest of Fairport Convention with Judy and Richard and Ian Matthews (back centre) and Ashley Hutchings before the terrible car crash which killed drummer Martin Lamble (at Richard’s shoulder here) and Richard’s then girlfriend, seamstress stylist and fashionista Jeannie Franklyn

now this is really interesting from Kostas this morning. I knew of Judy Dyble of course but only through her work with Fairport Convention (she was an early vocalist with the band) and of course it takes someone living in Athens to sort out my ignorance! (Kostas is ALWAYS doing this; teaching us about music from all around the globe to be fair but I especially enjoy his works on the British music scene many of which I have said to him I have never heard of!) 😉 So here from her earliest incarnations with fellow folkie Jackie McAuley former keyboard player from Them, here as Trader Horne to her solo effort later on [read what Kostas says about the name Trader Horne and John Peel]

















Judy passed away from lung cancer in 2020 aged 71
