Dave Swarbrick was such a sweetie. He used to play with Martin Carthy at the Merc (Mercury Café) when touring Denver, where I lived and played with musician friends back in the '90s. Such lovely guys who'd sit and chat with us between and after performances. No ego problems whatsoever...just regular folk for such great musicians with lots of soul. And Sandy Denny, IMO, was one of the most soulful voices of her day. Lovely woman...so sad that she, as well as Dave now, have passed on. :(
Sandy 'gets me' in an indescribable way. Every time I hear 'Full Moon' or 'No End', I get the chills and very nearly end up in tears. There's a vulnerability along with the musical prowess. I guess it's Soul. I love Sandy.
Dave Swarbrick is the violin player who speaks last and first. He could hear her footsteps when she came to visit HIM. He loved her, no doubt. And who would not. Sandy had a compassion for others and him that would enrapture any man. Dave is heartbroken over Sandy passing on. Can you imagine hearing beautiful Sandy walking up the garden path to your door to visit out of her compassion for you? She even asked the fotheringay drummer during taping if he was okay! and earlier bought the unidentified friend food and drink. She cared about others. So rare. Bittersweet. What a talent but what a heart Sandy was blessed with. Bittersweet. The greatest unknown ever in modern music was Sandy Denny.
She wasn't an "unknown" - she was and still is extremely famous. "Who knows where the time goes" is a classic and one of the most requested of all songs to be played at funerals.
that Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine" cover she did with Fairport Convention, is truly one of the greatest cover songs ever recorded..... her voice turns it into complete masterpiece
Denny's take on George's Easy To Slip quite remarkable too. (Tho it doesn't top the original which if I'm ever asked to name just one all-time favorite song, would be my answer.)
It’s that old conundrum isn’t it: does a true friend let a person like Sandy prop themselves up at the bar or see them home safely to live out a long and productive life in music? Ours is not to reason why I guess as hindsight is 20/20 vision.
Hearing Martin Carthy talk about Sandy's Royal Albert Hall show is honest and heartfelt. What he fails to mention is that Elton John was the opening act.
It's been an amazing few minutes listening to these folks speak of my favorite singer. Best concert ever seeing her at Richards in Atlanta decades ago. Thanks for posting this.
Sandy wrote it in her late teens - which makes it all the more extraordinary. but then again, much of Nick Drake's best known workwas written before he was 20.
What the hell is Dave Mattacks talking about? It sounds like he was trying to make a beautiful poignant statement but just rambles on and on. I didn't understand anything he said. If I was an editor I would have taken it all out. No interview with Richard Thompson? No reminiscing with Linda Thompson? And they only touch on a single Fairport LP and no solo albums by Sandy? A little incomplete don't you think? And while everyone is reminicing there were no real interview questions whatsoever. I think they all deserved better.
John LaStrada - This is Part 4 of 4; see the other 3 for discussion of all the FP, FG and solo albums. No RT though, and especially missing is Joe Boyd - read his book if you haven’t. Fantastic.

It would have been a lot more interesting if the name of the speaker was put on the screen!

@Alex Leonardo piss off, troll
@Alex Leonardo
No one cares at all.
The way they all soeak of her with such affection is touching. Obviously she was an excellent person with a great big heart.
Denny I saw many times. She was world class. That is not an overstatement
Thank you for this video, Sandy was very special.
that Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine" cover she did with Fairport Convention, is truly one of the greatest cover songs ever recorded..... her voice turns it into complete masterpiece

Dave Swarbrick, John Renbourn, Gerry Conway, Martin Carthy, Dave Mattacks, Swarb again.
DM-As articulate a speaker as he is behind the kit! Good Man.
She was a musical force. Dave Mattacks dispenses some particularly insightful wisdom here regarding Sandy and music generally.
@ Amy McCann she was an excellent person with a great big heart and a great big talent , voice as pure as driven snow
excellent singer/song writer definitely but if you look into her life especially towards the end i think i would disagree with you..

Dave Swarbrick, John Renbourn, Gerry Conway, Martin Carthy and Dave Mattacks.
Thanks for that info .
What Gerry Conway did to Cat Stevens' music is AMAZING. He allowed Steve to delve into progressive rock and also AOR at the end of his career.
He’s so gifted.
@@The_momur Aye, he is. His drum style is instantly recognisable.
Very disappointing, hardly anything mentioned about Sandy at all.
Ken Clarke Yeah I know what you mean. Doesn’t tell you much other than how her music affected people.
Would be nice to name the speakers. I know who 3 of them are but not the rest and I'm sure many other viewers are in the same boat.
Start with Sandy Denny: Under Review, part 1 they are all mentioned.
06:17 Chan Marshall (Cat Power). This man is spitting TRUTH.
Lovely! But we aren’t all familiar with some of the speakers; would have appreciated a name floating next to each one.
I can answer: she died as part of a double tragedy
dude likes his spaghetti.
Dave Swarbrick, John Renbourn, Simon Conway, Martin Carthy, & Dave Mattacks with the short hair, scarf, and black top.
Who don't they tell me who these guys are? I recognize Swarb, of course, the elf, is that DM with the congas? And where's Thompson?
work ethic
she was amazing in king crimson
King Crimson?? I think she never been part of the band, she made an album with Strawbs.....
Music is the point not blah blah.
Her name wasn't even sandy but that's what people call her which is weird because her name was Alexandra and her last name was Denny.
Well, her last name was Denny. And people called Alexandra or Alexander get called Sandy. So there's not much of a problem really.
Her full name was Alexandra Eilean McLean Denny.
Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny.
Yes Sandy is a nickname for Alexandra... if you say Alexandra slowly you will hear the word Sandra in it and Sandy would be short for that
Not very weird at all.
This is part of the final section of the Sandy Denny: Under Review documentary.
Whose idea came up with the extraordinary song ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes’?
Sandy wrote it in her late teens - which makes it all the more extraordinary. but then again, much of Nick Drake's best known workwas written before he was 20.
