Fotheringay were a short-lived offshoot of
Fairport Convention, featuring key member and leader
Sandy Denny. The band's only studio album, a self-titled record featuring
Denny's own compositions and several covers, arrived in 1970. (A second album was planned but never completed, although guitarist
Jerry Donahue later completed the project and released it in 2008 as Fotheringay 2.) While
Fotheringay's work proved to be interesting and beguiling, the band nevertheless broke up in 1971, with
Denny going on to launch a solo career. She also sang in duet with
Robert Plant on
Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore," becoming the only guest vocalist to perform on any of the band's albums. ~ Bruce Eder & William Ruhlmann
