In the years since her tragic early death, folk icon Sandy Denny has emerged as one of the UK's greatest singer-songwriters.
This very special performance showcases for the first time the entire musical legacy of Sandy Denny, taking in her work with Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, her solo career and the new songs completed by Thea Gilmore on her acclaimed album ‘Don’t Stop Singing’. Thea joins a unique line up of special guests performing with a ‘super group’ house band of core members of Bellowhead.

“My favourite singer out of all the British girls that ever were.”  Robert Plant

Tickets: £16.50-£22.50

 
Songs include: 'Fotheringay', 'The Sea', 'Late November', 'The Lady', 'Solo', 'One More Chance' and 'I’m A Dreamer', plus new songs from Thea Gilmore and, of course the seminal, 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes'.
Pre-concert talk: Hall One, 6.30pm
Given by writer, broadcaster and BBC Radio’s 2’s ‘pop historian’, Patrick Humphries. The talk will be accompanied with some rare tracks and photographs of Sandy Denny provided by Sandy Denny expert, Andrew Batt. Free to ticket holders.
