Sandy Denny: A People’s History
Sandy Denny holds a unique place in the history of rock as the only vocalist apart from Robert Plant to sing on a Led Zeppelin album. But her duet on ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ is just one of many achievements by the woman heralded by many as Britain’s greatest ever female singer-songwriter. As a member of Fairport Convention, with her band Fotheringay and as a solo singer, Sandy brought an air of magic to the stage every time she sang. Compiled by Sandy’s daughter, Georgia Rose Lucas, and fully approved by the estate of Sandy Denny, this book contains a wealth of memories and memorabilia about the composer of ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes’ and a host of other haunting songs that demonstrated the exceptional talent of a singer lost to the world at a tragically young age. With contributions from fans and a host of luminaries, including:
Richard Thompson, Rufus Wainwright, Mary Black, Barbara Dickson, Joe Boyd, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Linda Thompson, Joan as Policewoman, Richard Digance and Iain Matthews
Sandy Denny - A People’s History captures the story of a lost voice who lived a troubled life.
Georgia Rose Lucas is the daughter of Sandy Denny.
