The Lady : A Tribute to Sandy Denny

Monday 1 December 2008, 7.30pm, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London

In the 30 years since her death, Sandy Denny has emerged as one of the UK’s greatest singer-songwriters. A very special line up of artists including former colleagues and young admirers re-interpret her songs in this unique tribute showcasing her work with Fairport Convention, Fotheringay and her solo career.

A great line up is promised (to be announced over the next few weeks) but early birds can get tickets here:

If you check the seat availability, there's over half gone in the front blocks & many in the rear blocks - OK, may only be 40%, but they're moving fast....

You should be an economist, Chris.  You could make us all feel better about the current situation.  And/or you can't count  Roll Eyes  Wink  Anyway...I for one am looking forward to it!

Me too. No problem booking a couple of seats right down the front. I'm sure it'll be a wonderful evening.

Do we know who is appearing yet? Loved the smaller scale memorial (such a sad word) at the Troubadour earlier this year

It's probably out of order, but how about a bit of speculation/suggestions as to performers.

Personally I'd just love to have Iain Matthews and Julianne Regan singing some of Sandy's songs together. I know it ain't gonna happen though.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Taking a slight chance on who will be appearing but tickets booked.

I really must get around to thinking up something witty and urbane to put here.

I asked Chris While last night if she was involved in this event or knew who would be appearing. She was not aware of the concert so could not help.

...the Twelve Apostles, While and Matthews, and any Beatles song...

I suspect it will more likely be those musicians who knew her and possibly played with her....

Well, not exclusively, Chris. Notice the wording used in the concert notice: “a very special line up of artists including former colleagues and young admirers”. I have some idea of who’s lined up but am not at liberty to reveal yet. Suffice to say that the concept is to carry Sandy’s legacy forward into the next generation.

Nice thought to meet in the Hole in the Wall first. I’d probably be up for that.
