In the years since her tragic early death, folk icon Sandy Denny has emerged as one of the UK's greatest singer-songwriters. This special show celebrates her legacy as a new generation are beginning to understand her significance.

Artists such as Laura Marling, Joanna Newsom and Florence Welch are likened to Denny or cite her as an influence. In a short 13 year career Sandy Denny left behind an extensive legacy that has seen her reputation grow and grow. All her recordings have now been comprehensively reissued culminating in a 19cd boxset and an acclaimed album of new songs discovered in her archive and completed by Thea Gilmore entitled Don’t Stop Singing.

For the first time Denny’s entire musical legacy is showcased live in this adventurous concert bringing together her work with Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, her solo career and the new songs completed by Thea Gilmore. Gilmore joins a unique line up of artists, including some of Denny’s former colleagues and friends, together with members of Bellowhead who form a ‘super group’ to create this unique, homage to the artist described by Richard Thompson as ‘the greatest British female artist of her generation’.
