Sandy Denny was a British singer, songwriter, and musician known for her work with Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, and as a solo artist. Born on January 6, 1947 in Wimbledon, London, England, she made significant contributions to the folk rock genre during her career. With two spells in Fairport Convention and a brief stint with Fotheringay, Sandy also collaborated with artists such as *Richard Thompson*. She tragically passed away on April 21, 1978 in England from a cerebral haemorrhage.

Throughout her musical journey, Sandy Denny released several solo albums that showcased her exceptional talent as both a vocalist and songwriter. Her unique style drew inspiration from traditional folk music while incorporating contemporary elements. As an influential figure within the folk rock scene of the time, she has left an indelible mark on the genre.

With a voice that captivated audiences worldwide and collaborations with notable acts like *Fairport Convention* and *Fotheringay*, Sandy Denny's legacy continues to inspire musicians today. Her artistry remains timeless and cherished by fans of folk rock music.

Gold Dust: Live At The Royalty, featuring highlights from Sandy Denny’s final concert, is making its debut on vinyl. Recorded just months before her untimely death in 1978, this special release attempts to present the record that Sandy might have released had she lived. The concert features a career-spanning set that includes songs taken from her band Fotheringay, Sandy’s solo albums (The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, Sandy, and Rendezvous), as well as her work with Fairport Convention on the albums Unhalfbricking and Rising for the Moon. This final performance perfectly captures the folk-rock sound with a stellar group of musicians including Trevor Lucas, Jerry Donahue, Pat Donaldson, Dave Mattacks, among others. It showcases the quality of Sandy’s songwriting throughout her career and includes her signature composition, “Who Knows Where the Time Goes?” – which was the first song she ever wrote – and “No More Sad Refrains” which closed her final album. Remastered from the restored tapes, this release features Sandy’s spoken introductions to each song, comprehensive sleeve notes, and brand-new artwork designed specifically for this release.
