Folk singer Karen Dalton had a voice closer to Charley Patton than Sandy Denny, a unique voice that most people probably either love or hate.

No doubt about it – the venue’s the star tonight. St Philips with St Stevens is situated in what remains of old Salford, and is a gorgeous 1820’s building that is still in good condition. Contemporary Salford intrudes, however, in the form of warnings to keep Satnavs hidden (and the inevitable post-gig smashed windows). Still, [...]

Today's video comes from a concert given by Fairport Convention at Maidstone in 1970. One genius, Sandy Denny, had already left the band but another, Richard Thompson, is still in place. Like all good folk songs, this one involves drowing sailors. It is sung by Dave Swarbrick. Fairport Convention are still going strong, though these days everything about them seems a little beery and the lead vocals...

For my 16th birthday in March 1969, I received the album Who Knows Where the Time Goes from my friend Lois, who I had known since kindergarten. Even as she was giving the LP, she gave me this whopping caveat said, "I hope you like it. It's kinda country." Well, some of it was for certain, but it was far more eclectic than I was led to expect. Hello Hooray - Starts off mysteriously softly, almost inaudibly,...

Whilst remembering Sandy Denny last week I feel I was remiss not to have mentioned Fairport's first singer as it was JUDY DYBLE’s voice that first hooked me into the band. I must have bought ‘If I Had A Ribbon Bow’ shortly after it came out – I had to wait a week or so until Sticklands record shop in Hoop Lane got it in for me. ‘Ribbon Bow’ remains a quirkily terrific song with beautiful lead vocals...

On rare occasions making a living has to take priority - and four 11-hour days on the trot has left me somewhat tired. Yesterday I actually arrived home and didn't want to fire up the computer. But we seem to have satisfied the people who pay us ... so normal blogging will resume after a long sleep. More Sandy Denny ... a throwaway little song that she never actually released - sung here by the very...

There's a lot of blogging out there at the moment, but this blog is easily the most researched and knowledgeable. I feel a book will eventually come of this work. I saw her at Bradford Uni in 1976. Wasn't a great concert - she sang too close to the mike and I was disappointed. There wasn't a good feeling about the show. But it didn't put any of us off her - we just went home and played the records...
