Women Singers in Celtic Folklore and Rock-Metal

[TACdtf]

Sandy Denny- She had a solo career and also sang with Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, and The Strawbs. She died young in 1978.

Never heard of her, but I just looked her up on Wiki and jeez, she had issues.

 

[Gold Dust Woman]

Never heard of her, but I just looked her up on Wiki and jeez, she had issues.

She did have issues with alcohol for sure, but she also is one of the top female folk rock voices if not the top folk rock female singers of all time.

One of my all time favorites....her Fairport , Fotheringay , and solo music is superb and should be in all serious music collections.

Try and listen to some of the years she fronted the band Fairport Convention

My father who I credit as my musical influence mostly is a huge Fairport Convention fan.

I will. I've literally never heard a Fairport Convention song. She had a great voice on that song.

Her voice is amazing and the fiddle player, Dave Swarbrick is one of the best fiddle players of all time. Much of Fairport Convention's music however does not have Sandy Denny singing though.

Another favorite....Shirley Collins who sang with thr Albion Band and solo.

 

[Nai Noswad]

.... Whereas, Jacqui McShee merits a full chapter.

Pentangle - Travelling Song.

Anyone spot Peter Green during the guitar break?
