This Sandy Denny Tribute at St. Anne's Church in 1998 ( Arts At St. Ann's music series)
was a labor of love for organizer Peter Hopplestple
& his group The Continental Drifters.
I had the honor of being in attendance at the sold out show!
All of the many performers- including Michael Steele and Vicky Peterson ( ex - The Bangles), Sloan Wainwright ( Loudon's sister), Katell Keineg , Susan McKeowen,Marti Jones, Don Dixon, Robyn Hitchcock, Susan Cowsill, etc.)brought their own vocal chops to
the timeless songs of Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny.The house band - The Continental Drifters- was great. I prefer the second set over the first, but both sets still blow me away. Take a listen to Susan Cowsill channelling the spirit of Sandy in her take of 'At The End Of The Day" and Katell Keineg singing Sandy's "Who Knows Where The Time Goes". And everyone comes back out for a rousing finale of the Fairport Convention classic "Meet On The Ledge".Much thanks to the powers that be of the St. Anne's production staff and Peter H. for the genius to think up a tribute show with such forethought and obvious love. And of course thanks to host/announcer Meg Griffin and radio station WFUV for making this great concert available live to their radio listeners.
