Sandy Denny Video!
This is a wonderful find - Sandy Denny singing some of her songs. (North Star Grassman and the Raven, a bit of Crazy Lady Blues and Late November). It's a bit wobbly at times, but a must for Sandy fans. I find her voice entrancing still, after so many years - saw her play with Fairport Convention at the Sydney Opera House in 1974, and never forgot it. (Yeah ... I was young!). She died in 1978, aged only 31.
Here is a good article on her life and talent from the Guardian newspaper
Here are the video clip links:
