Hi all
I've read several articles and interviews online and in publications which tell me that Jerry Donahue has been compiling a "Fotheringay 2" album for some time now. Does anybody know if this project is still going ahead, or whether it's been set aside?
I'd love to hear the finished product, as I'm sure many of us would.

Hi Jules, There was a thread about Fotheringay a while back. I would love to see a box set with all the studio and live stuff, plus a dvd of the videos. http://www.talkawhile.co.uk/yabbse/index.php?topic=18992.0 |

While working with Jerry on "Many ears to please", he told me that he is still trying to put "Fotheringay 2" together. But there are many issues to settle, not least the legal ones. And also finding all the stuff he'd like to include on the CD. Besides, Jerry is quite busy playing live with various groups and artists. So progress is probably rather slow, but I got the impression it's still on. I will ask him next time I talk to him, but don't hold your breath.

It's obviously not very high up Jerry Donahue's list of priorities. Here's something from January '98 saying he's been "trying for a while now to reconstruct" Fotheringay 2: http://www.geocities.com/solukmavi/sd-fotheringay.html. It sounds like the kind of thing David Suff could be doing. His company, Fledg'ling, reissued the first album. He is much experienced in tracking down recordings and negotiating rights - look at his work on the Boxful of Treasures. And, in compiling the latter, didn't he go through all the Fotheringay studio material? I thought that was how Silver Threads and Golden Needles came to light. So, come on guys! There's a sad anniversary coming up in April 2008 and this release would be one way to mark it. |

If Jerry was to hand over what he had so far to David than I'm sure David would be keen to see the project through if Jerry is too busy. Maybe they could even work as a team. Jules |

Ooh, that looks tasty! By the way, I heard from Mr JD himself recently and he said the project is still on, and he may have some news for us all real soon. Yay!  Jules |

I am very excited about the official release. Is there a way to get the live material? I can't seem to sign up and would love some clean live Fotheringay. I look to their version of John the gun. Spet 29th is not far off. Great news.

Tracklist of Fotheringay 2: John the Gun * Eppie Moray * Wild Mountain Thyme * Knights of the Road * Late November * Restless * Gypsy Davey * I Don’t Believe You * Silver Threads and Golden Needles * Bold Jack Donahue * Two Weeks Last Summer http://www.thebeesknees.com/?cat=16Above is the listing on the Fledg’ling site, 11 tracks in all. The News section on the Fairport site talks about an album of 13 tracks. However, I’d heard that ‘Lowlands of Holland’ and the untitled instrumental have been dropped from the final cut. Anyone able to confirm this? |

I've just read this on another forum. Can't vouch for it's accuracy... "Anybody who knows Elliott from Wall Of Sound, well he's having a party on 28 September at his shop in Huddersfield for the release of the album...contact him to find out more" This is their website for the online store at least... http://www.wallofsound-records.com/index.php |

I read something about that recently and I cannot for the life of me remember where.

Thusly. Thought I'd cross post this from the other Fairport list.... Hi All, Many of you may be aware that the second and until now unreleased Fotheringay 2 album is about to get a release at the end of September. To celebrate it, I'm planning on a launch do at 7pm on Saturday 27th September at my shop Wall of Sound Records in Huddersfield. We're hoping to give everyone a first listen to the album and offer it at a discounted price on the night and hopefully make a bit of an event of it with some memorabilia/ pictures and guests. I can't confirm anything in detail yet as we're still working on it but it will certainly happen in some shape or form on that night. There will be no need for a ticket/ invitation and you'll all be be than welcome to come and celebrate this landmark release with us. I'll keep you posted and if anyone has anything that they think they can contribute to the night, please contact me. Cheers, Elliot Smaje Wall of Sound Records 42, John William Street Huddersfield HD1 1ER West Yorkshire |

For those (vast majority I assume!) who do not know Elliott, he is a top bloke and a huge RT fan - he contributed some of the tracks on the RT boxed set (and is ctedited in the backof the book). Also friendly as hell.
I'm sure that the press release above is genuine - i.e. he is doing it out of excitement and a sense of occasion, I don't know of him doing anything similar for other releases.
Also, Wall Of Sound is vinyl heaven, I have even considered buying a deck so that I can go and shop there....
