Vicky Clayton sings the songs of Sandy Denny

A tribute evening in which Vicky Clayton performs the songs of Sandy Denny, the English singer-songwriter who fronted Fairport Convention and Fotheringay before her solo albums. The concert takes place at The Strines Nightingale in Strines.

Sandy Denny (1947–1978) was an English singer-songwriter and vocalist whose voice became central to British folk rock. She sang with Fairport Convention from 1968 to 1969, appearing on the album Liege & Lief, then formed Fotheringay, whose self-titled album came out in 1970. Her solo records include The North Star Grassman and the Ravens (1971) and Sandy (1972), and she wrote the song Who Knows Where the Time Goes, one of the most widely covered pieces in her catalogue.

This evening is a tribute: Vicky Clayton sings Denny's songs, and Denny does not perform on stage. The programme draws on the repertoire from across Denny's career, with the focus on her own songwriting and interpretations.

The Strines Nightingale hosts concerts and shows in Strines, and this concert is one of the events on its programme. The night suits listeners who want to hear Denny's material performed live by another singer.
