The Attic Tracks Vol. 2

live at 'The Troubadour'.

of Fairport which became available in late 1989.

radio program, 'Cellar full of Folk'.
Side 2:
The songs on this side date from Sandy's last concert, at the Royalty Theatre,
London, on 27 November 1977. This is the biggest band that Sandy ever
fronted, consisting of Dave Mattacks: drums; Pat Donaldson: bass; Trevor Lucas:
acoustic guitar and vocals; Phil Palmer and Rob Hendry: lead
guitars; Pete Wilshire: pedal steel; and Sandy herself on piano and acoustic guitar.
The lady appears on Who Knows Where The Time Goes.
