Off The Beaten Tracks 23 September 2024

Two tracks on this week's show from "Nothing More" The Collected Fotheringay. Something I learned from reading the booklet that comes with this collection is that Sandy Denny asked Richard Thompson if he could recommended a guitarist and he suggested Albert Lee who became the band's first lead guitarist. Albert then recommended bass player Pat Donaldson but after a few weeks he left as his guitar playing didn't really fit in with what Fotheringay were doing and he had been offered a 'lucrative retainer' to play with Steve Gibbons. Pat then suggested they ask Jerry Donahue who had some initial doubts but after their first rehearsal, he joined and the line-up (with singer\guitarist Trevor Lucas and drummer Gerry Conway) was then complete.
