Robbed of one of the most hauntingly ethereal voices of our generation at least we have sources like this . . . . . 



A fine fine set from two heroes this morning from Aquarium Drunkard





not entirely sure who is on this set and yet it sounds like Dave Swarbrick on tracks like "Who know
s . . . " but it is not Fairport but billed as a solo concert at Eltham Well Hall Open Theatre hence the open air sound quality but it's worth it . . . Sandy her usual chatty self and that voice peerless and ringing out across the afternoon . . . . .Richard of course needs no introduction here quite simply our best guitarist bar none and singer songwriter without equal!




At rest now

The Lady
Alexandra Elene
MacLean Lucas
(Sandy Denny)
6·1·47 – 21·4·78



Denny died in 1978 at the age of 31 due to injuries and health issues related to alcohol abuse as she was unfortunately an alcoholic
