Fotheringay - Self titled album

Sandy Denny and her future husband, Trevor Lucas formed Fotheringay following Denny's departure from Fairport Convention. This was the only album released while the band were together (Fotheringay 2 would eventually be released in 2008)

Always great to hear Fairport Convention, and the voice of Sandy Denny, on the wireless.

🎶Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before,
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door,
But those days will last no more.🎶 😢
