Sadly due to new work commitments I've had to pull out of going to this.  I have two tickets which are in the very Front Row of the Rear Stalls.

Seats AA 27 and AA 28.  I paid £44.50 (inc charges) for these, and would appreciate something close to that.  I'll send them to any UK address by 1st Class Recorded Delivery.  Drop me a line if you want them...

Hi,
I hardly ever venture on here (perhaps I should visit more often) but I suspected there might be something about this. I've been excited about this gig for ages, but now I know roughly what everyone is doing I'm most excited about what Swarb will be singing (yes, singing)... I don't want to ruin the surprises, but its quite a good game to match the song to the singer - there's stuff from Sandy's solo albums, right back through Fotheringay and Fairport in there. I can't wait for the rehearsals.

See you there.

Hi all

Around 900 tickets have been sold which is absolutely fantastic. There is still another 70 on sale should people still want to book. To mark the night there will be a definative pictoral record of Sandy on sale only at the venue.

In another thread, in the Radio Times section, Fi has written:

On Tuesday (that would be the 25th) the Woman's Hour newsletter informs me they will be looking back Sandy Denny's life and legacy, with Whispering Bob. There is also a special concert in her memory in Liverpool that day (I think there's one in London too, but they don't mention it!)
http://www.talkawhile.co.uk/yabbse/index.php?topic=29882.0

First I've heard of any Liverpool concert. Better don my New Man image and listen to Woman's Hour tomorrow.

Info from Bob Harris's office:

Someone got the wrong end of the stick. There is no L'pool concert. Bob will be talking about the London concert on Woman's Hour.

Jude Rogers has an excellent column in today's Guardian, mostly about Sandy -
"her dark star is rising everywhere". Wow!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/nov/28/cohen-hallelujah-sandy-denny

She also mentions the concert on Monday, which should be a sell-out.

As a newbie to this forum I was not fully aware of this concert until this week .

We may never partake with Sandy the life that she deserved but we can certainly keep her with us through the songs and literature available and our skills in interpreting this

Unfortunately I won't be able to go but I wish both performers and audience a wonderful and memorable occasion.

"Sandy Denny, a folk singer whose incredible voice and blackly beautiful songs won me over 10 years ago. Back then, you'd only find compilations of her music in deep, dusty bargain bins."

10 years ago!! Imagine that!! Don't you just love the young when they "discover" something. And the press. Did you ever see a headline "EVERYTHING GOING ON MUCH AS BEFORE! NOTHING MUCH HAPPENS!!??

What’s your point exactly, jaypeter? You’re bothered by young people’s naïve enthusiasm when they “discover” something that oldies have known about for years? I would have thought that’s to be welcomed. It’s only by successive generations rediscovering them that things of importance are kept in the public eye – they pass on the enthusiasm to their peers. Jude R wrote another piece about Sandy in The Word last summer where she said she was born the week after Sandy died, making her emphatically of the post-Sandy generation. It’s this generation (well represented in the line-up for the concert) who will carry interest forward into the future. Same as happened to Nick Drake.
