Sally Barker, when not a zebra, sings a mean Sandy as well!
True......but she may have been put off by people not liking her version of WKWTTG a few years back. |

I was listening to the "Sandy" segment last night and only Simon and Ian Matthews were able to carry a tune while Peggy, PJ and Fish were terrible.

Winter Wilson did a good job on "Tomorrow", in my view.

Yes they did, sorry I forgot them. It was " It'll take a long time" |

Here's one to stir up the waters a bit...
"is it truly that FC themselves want to continually honour her memory or do they feel obliged to do so by their perception of what the fans "want" ?"
While they may feel "obliged" to honour Sandy's massive contribution to Fairport , there's no such obligation to honour her solo work outside of Fairport, any more than they should have honoured Swarb by presenting Smiddyburn and Flittin'.
Discuss...

Yes they did, sorry I forgot them. It was " It'll take a long time" I thought that was the high point of the Sandy section. I didn't mind Fish's attempt at Solo either, at least it was heartfelt or appeared to be. Iain Matthews singing Rising For The Moon was unexpected, in a good way. I was expecting a 'big name' female singer though, or at least the likes of Chris or Kellie While, or maybe Thea Gilmore. |

True......but she may have been put off by people not liking her version of WKWTTG a few years back. Yet her singing on Rising For The Moon from last year as heard on What We Did On Our Saturdays absolutely nailed it. So I don't think that is a fair point |

Heartfelt goes a long way with me. But not that far. Jules |

You can look on that set list 2 ways. You can praise them for doing material by the latest incarnation of the band or you can say it has some very weak Fairport material on it .......and I have to agree as to why they didn't have female voices for the Sandy Tribute...... |

Some lovely, heartfelt stuff here, about renditions of Sandy's songs at this year's Cropredy. I can't possibly comment, not been back for near 10 years, but the memory of her voice has been a dilemma for the Curator of the closing performance, and the whole bill of fayre, for many years, IMHO.
Sandy is Dead, though. Ask Paul Rodgers to sing with Queen, people say 'he's not Freddie Mercury, though, is he ?'
Of course he's not, Freddie Mercury is Dead.
Kate Rusby has recorded WKWTTG, but didn't sing it at Wickham a week earlier. It is for the Curator to judge just who gets to sing those songs, amongst those that were closest, not for us, who were afar, IMHO. If Fish made a hash of one, I hope someone youtube'd it. It's respect. G

Quick question
What electric instrument was Chris playing during the Sandy set, there is a vid on line but i cant work out if it is a straight electric guitar of maybe a return for the batocaster?

Just listening to the set, downloaded from BBC Radio Oxford. "Jewel In The Crown" is currently playing. I am getting moist-eyed again.

≥snip<. Ask Paul Rodgers to sing with Queen, people say 'he's not Freddie Mercury, though, is he ?'
Of course he's not, Freddie Mercury is Dead.
I recall Roger Taylor saying at the time: "He doesn't have to be Freddie, because he IS Paul Rodgers." You could say the same about Fish and Sandy Denny. He did it his way, whatever the crowd may have wanted. |
