This is the perfect speed for this song. Oh if Sandy Denny was singing it !! But this is an excellent version, and none of the boredom associated with groups playing the same stuff for 40 years !! Beautiful.
@@Honey-Sanchez don't you hate Americans like everyone else? Even we have feelings. I'm just making the point that most Americans are not fans of British folk music. Also, chill out
How often she has gazed from castle windows all And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall With no one to heed her call The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun And in a lonely moment, those embers will be gone And the last of all the young birds flown Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door But those days will last no more Tomorrow, at this hour, she will be far away Much farther than these islands, for the lonely Fotheringay
I saw Sandy do this song many times when they were at teh Country club in Belsize Park, most magical band under-estimated at the time, as I recall a support band, but her voice is immortal as time has shown. We will meet on the Ledge
This is an excellent performance of this iconic song that somehow merged the old with the emerging new back in the day when Fairport Convention, along with Fleetwood Mac and other innovative bands brought a transcendental presence to an idealistic age, at least for some of us who had a dream, as Joni sang about Woodstock. I am not the nostalgic type, and that is why I appreciate what Simon Nichol, Dave Pegg, and Fairport do here playing "Fatheringay".
I've always wondering why in the early years Simon Nicol was on the background in the band, but he has been the backbone of the band after all. Great guitarist, great vocalist. Great band.
@@c.a.t.732 I saw her many times in the country club, live. She still lives on in my heart. The club was so smal and initmate. Out of the station at Belsize Park, round the back of tghe station, we used ot queue by the tennis courts. They were ovften a support band but they were stunning. I even remember going to sleep on the floor as she sang. Beautiful days.
@@Notmehimorthem I envy you! Growing up in California, I was first turned on to Fairport when a friend of mine loaned me his copy of Liege and Lief, which had just come out. Later I got the "Sandy" album, which I still have, and fell deeper in love with her work. Decades later I saw a later version of Fairport when they opened for Jethro Tull on the Crest of a Knave tour, with Dave Pegg doing double duty as bassist in both bands! Anyway, thank you for sharing... I've recently been rediscovering both Ms. Denny and the band through UA-cam, and the wealth of great music they created. Cheers!
C.A.T. I still feel their best album was What we did on our holidays. Have you checked that out. I was in London during the sixties it was so easy to find good music. Down the road about a mile away in The Roundhouse Pink Floyd often played, there were the first light shows. Fleetwood Mac too with Peter Green. Many other excellent bands too many to mention. We were so lucky, these were times of hope and optimism. I also saw BbKing and Chuck Berry in the Country club.
It's a parlour guitar, similar size guitar to most guitars before the 20th century. If you're playing through a pick-up you don't need a large bodied acoustic.
@@Wotsitorlabart Do you really understand what you write because I certainly don't. "Allowed to live" "buried by the cult" ffs ! And that bearded twat cannot sing anyway.
If you are asking two questions then the answer to both is no. If you are not asking questions then you really need to learn how to use question marks.
This band which I seen live in a very anti Protestant band anti British and pro IRA I was so shocked when I seen them in Liverpool, I couldn’t believe it to be avoided at all time. I love the British people and all who stand with us.

RIP my love
That was sublime, the bass was just outstanding. Sandy would be delighted, Simon's guitar was lovely. Thank you.
Even an American like me is still moved to tears by this classic song. Simply beautiful.

Beautiful, haunting, evocative and, blimey, I’ve got wet stuff in my eyes.
a nice version of this song i still miss sandy after all these years
Best live version of F I've ever heard, wasn't sure it would work without - obviously - a female vocal, but it was a treat.
Josienne Clark and Ben walkers do this brilliantly almost as good as sandy 😊
How often she has gazed from castle windows all
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall
With no one to heed her call
The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun
And in a lonely moment, those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flown
Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door
But those days will last no more
Tomorrow, at this hour, she will be far away
Much farther than these islands, for the lonely Fotheringay
no matter how many times i hear this song it gets to me everytime
Musical perfection, beautiful, moving, can’t stop playing this.
A lovely tribute to Sandy....
Every millisecond hits me. Great great version and song.
I saw Sandy do this song many times when they were at teh Country club in Belsize Park, most magical band under-estimated at the time, as I recall a support band, but her voice is immortal as time has shown. We will meet on the Ledge
I was lucky toalsosee them at the Country Club in 69,I think, her voice was magic.....
Such a beautiful version - well done chaps!
A haunting and fitting tribute to Scotland's true Queen.

Have you heardteh orginal version from the unforgettable album What we did no our holidays
@@Notmehimorthem I have heard it, and just checked it out again after reading your reply. Sandy could just break your heart, couldn't she?

GREAT !
Csodás, mint minden meghallgatáskor!
Still I like it very much
unforgettable
Touching version -
Love them
머나먼 한국땅에서 당신들의 이 처절하고 아름다운 노래를 듣고 있는 팬이 있다는 걸 알아줬으면 좋겠군요
What's that srange guitar the big man is playing,beast regards.
It's a parlour guitar, similar size guitar to most guitars before the 20th century. If you're playing through a pick-up you don't need a large bodied acoustic.
Csodálatos
like to hear never more with this constellation
No Sandy - no point :-( - but the instrumental arrangements are sublime :-)
Stupid comment - is no one allowed to play this?
This line up should never attempt anything Sandy Denny. Like a blind man driving a Ferrari.
Stupid comment. I get a bit tired of the 'no one should attempt a Sandy song' crap.
@@Wotsitorlabart I think no one should attempt a Sandy song.
@@michaeligoe3935
As I said a stupid comment. The songs should be allowed to live in the modern world not buried by the cult of Sandy.
@@Wotsitorlabart Do you really understand what you write because I certainly don't. "Allowed to live" "buried by the cult" ffs ! And that bearded twat cannot sing anyway.
It's rubbish? rehashed shite that fairport convention did 30 years ago?
If you are asking two questions then the answer to both is no.
If you are not asking questions then you really need to learn how to use question marks.
@@Wotsitorlabart yes, I think he was trying to make a point, whatever it was, but failed miserably!

Fotheringay.... Where the Mary Stewart of Scotland beheaded. So sad episode.
They are playing in Burnley tonight, at the Mechanics institute. Valentines day.
