The Fairport Convention singer whose folk roots and personal writing have held up for decades.
For a good frame, try 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes?' from her Fairport days and 'Autopsy' from later on. Both show what she did best.
Her version of 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes?' on Fairport Convention's 1969 album 'Unhalfbricking' helped define their sound. Later solo work like 'Bruton Town' and 'Autopsy' showed her range, moving between traditional folk and more personal material. That clear voice and direct approach still connect with listeners who find something real in her songs.
She joined Fairport Convention in 1967, then left to form Fotheringay and release solo albums. The 1971 record 'The North Star Grassman and the Ravens' captured her folk roots and evolving writing. Through the 1970s she kept recording, with albums like 'Sandy' in 1972 and 'Like an Old Fashioned Waltz' in 1974.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
