PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL PAGE, HERE TO CELEBRATE THE MUSICIANS OF FOTHERINGAY. IT IS RUN BY US AND NOT BY ANY MEMBER OF THE BAND. WE HOPE THAT IT WILL BRING BACK MANY MEMORIES FOR SOME AND ENLIGHTEN OTHERS INTO FINDING OUT ABOUT A TRULY WONDERFUL CD. Bright Blessings The folk rock group Fotheringay was formed in 1970 by singer Sandy Denny upon her departure from Fairport Convention. The band drew its name from the song Fotheringay, which Fairport Convention had included on their 1969 album... WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAYS ....which was Fairport's first record with Sandy Denny. Two former members of Eclection, Trevor Lucas and Gerry Conway, and two former members of Poet And The One Man Band, Jerry Donahue and Pat Donaldson (bass), completed the line-up responsible for the quintet's lone album. This impressive, folk-based set included several superior Denny originals, notably "Nothing More", "The Sea" and "The Pond And The Stream", as well as meticulous readings of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel" and Bob Dylan's "Too Much Of Nothing'. Although criticized contemporaneously as constrained, Fotheringay is now viewed as a confident, accomplished work. However, the album failed to match commercial expectations and pressures on Denny to undertake a solo career - she was voted Britain's number 1 singer in Melody Maker"s 1970 poll - increased. Fotheringay was disbanded in 1971 during sessions for a projected second set. Some of its songs surfaced on the vocalist's debut album, The Northstar Grassman and the Ravens, and whereas Donaldson and Conway began session work, Lucas and Donahue resurfaced in Fairport Convention. Some years after Trevor Lucas and Jerry Donahue had been with Fairport, Gerry Conway became Fairports drummer, replacing the departed Dave Mattacks, he also occupies the drummer's stool in Jacqui McShee's Pentangle.
