Charlie Clown Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 A good few years back I heard a song by Sandy Denny on the radio - all I can tell you is that it was a very gentle piece of music and it had bird song in the background. Anyone know the title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Chollie...it sounds like something she may have done with Fairport Convention. I'll do some checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Clown Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Thanks - I have that Fairport album so I'll dig it out and give it a listen tomorrow - never noticed the track in question on there before but its a long time since I listened to it. I'll let you know if its the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Clown Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 haha! had a listen to Rolling Minstrels this morning and it is definitely not that one. That song is quite a rocker in its way, the song I was thinking of is much quieter and gentler and, I'm convinced of this, had a lot of birdsong on in the background. I'm also failry certain it was a Sandy Denny solo piece rather than a Fairport Convention track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 While reading the songfacts on Led Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore, I learned that Sandy Denny died in 1978 from falling down the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat james Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Yeah Sandy Died in 78 but go and listen to "who knows were the time goes" for one of the greatst female vocals of all time. Its a song she recorded with fairport Convention and I think its on the Unhalfbricking album on Island Records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
