Remembering Sandy Denny.
Britain's greatest folk-rock singer Sandy Denny died on this day April 21st in 1978 aged only 31. Her daughter Georgia Rose Lucas has just made this wonderful film of Sandy's haunting and ethereal song about Mary Queen of Scots called Fotheringay. It originally appeared on Fairport Convention's 1968 album What We Did On Our Holidays.
