a powerful message and tribute to Sandy Denny... her music and words have moved many of us for over 40 plus years..so much so.. that I visited her grave in puttney valle cemetery in London...that is what we are dealing with here.. introspective greatness and :"the lady" with a voice we will never hear again..
This is a beautiful song, I still have the 7" around somewhere. I saw Dave Cousins play it live to about 20 people in a little studio in Coventry UK. To my eternal horror the alarm on my digital watch started beeping about half way through & took me a long 10 seconds to realise. Fortunately he forgave me, until he saw the Genesis painting on the back of my jacket as we were leaving the show!
a sad and memorable tribute to "The Lady" ..I was in Wash DC when I heard poor Sandy died and was devastated.. i saw Sandy twice in performance, the first at cornell folk festival in around 1973, second in NYC.. Sandy's daughter Georgia was to lose her father, Australian folk singer Trevor Lucas (referred to by Dave Cousins) to a heart attact in the 1980s.
This is a very touching tribute to Sandy. Has anyone got a good vinyl copy of the Dragonfly album for sale. Mine was stolen and it's the only Strawbs album which I don/t have.
This is a very sad story,but I'm happy you found it again since I lost the original you'd sent.Thank you so much,and yes he is still very emotional for it to have been 30 past,but she was speacial.thank you, rocker53zero,msstevie xx
Your hearing is not so good? Then try to obtain and to read Clinton Heylin's biography "No more sad refrains". After that, you know all you wanted to know - and probably more. Yeah, she was a fantastic singer and songwriter, but for sure no saint. (Avoid the soft-painted latterday biography of 2015/16). By the way: Cousins is delivering here the "official story", which probably wasn't the whole truth. Just read about it ... Greetings and thanks for uploading!
Nigihayahi-- you said "Please inform me that Dave Cousins of Strawbs talks what about Sandy Denny of Fairprt Convention." If you wanted to know WHETHER he is speaking of Sandy Denny from Fairport Convention, the answer is yes. If you wonder what it is that he says in the introduction, he is telling the audience that Sandy died from injury sustained in a fall down the stairs, while her husband and child were on an airplane, on their way to Australia.
Gleamings and golds of a brilliant but definitely bygone era 🎇
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful person... the emotion in Dave's voice adds to the wonder of this melody to Sandy's memory

Listen to 'Farewell, farewell' by 'Fairport Covention' with Sandy Denny.
This is wonderful, I Thank you. Strawbs music is Timeless.

Great Tony Hooper. The soul of Strawbs, RIP
Dave Cousins sings this song with such feeling. I think he was probably a little in love with Sandy.
Farewell, farewell. Sandy Denny.
Glad to see this!
