Fotheringay - Fairport Convention (cover by Josienne Clarke + Ben Walker)

[@nuanceblacksywin4868]

OMG!! Why doesn't this have more views??? I'm stunned. First by her voice, and then by the sound of the flute.

[@paultruemner7438]

My absolute number one favourite song recorded by Fairport Convention. The sentimental nostalgia of this song is overwhelming. This cover version is brilliant !

[@rafaelbp591]

I totally agree. And what a marvelous cover!

[@Ravenwing2024]

Firstly, you must be very brave to cover a song by the Glorious Sandy; but this could not be better. It is stunning. Thank you so much for this. Good luck to both of you.

[@StephenSeabird]

Great, just great. Thank you.

[@robs639]

Beautiful. Great to hear that there are young musicians keeping this music alive.

[@lindsayheywood7195]

Such lovely lovely guitar playing! And what a voice the lady has, warm and melancholic, just like Sandy's!

[@DebbieSkolnik]

One of my most favorite songs ever, and I think justice has been done fully to it here. Just beautiful.

[@immutablecantrip]

how in the world have 13 years gone by since this was made without me ever hearing it before? Incredible

[@GuilhermeBruno1987]

Both are to be congratulated! I was thrilled with this version. "Fotheringay" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life, and this new version that you two performed is really, really good! Thanks for sharing!

[@nikforever9412]

Fotheringhay has been my favourite song since I first heard it more than 50 years ago, and you guys played it together very, very well.

[@pentangle4444]

Saw the great Sandy perform live in 1974. There is a great re-discovery of her music including my discovering Sandy's daughter, Georgia Lucas, commenting recently on another Sandy cover!

[@hopefulguitarist7532]

I've listened to Fairport's own 2012 version. Your version blows them away! Thanks for sharing!

[@wrekker69]

One of my favourit Fairport songs, beautifully delivered.

[@Jazzmaster11]

Amazing, simply amazing.

[@steveknight878]

I remember these two came to The George in South Molton. Enjoyed their session.

[@colinousley]

you have done great justice to a beautiful song.

[@salami6248]

This has to be the single best guitar arrangement I've heard of this song!! Heartbroken the link for the tab doesn't work anymore :(

[@slicerhere]

This is very nice- warmed the British heart of an ex pat in BC Canada. best wishes Chris

[@folkmusicgirl]

Josienne: Your voice is just so lovely. I truely enjoyed your cover and you and Ben have done this song much, much justice! I am very glad to have come across your video tonight.

[@Agreener76]

Absolutely amazing version of an amazing song.

[@CookieOfTheHousie]

Perfect cover, great skills, you're both really talented! the convination of the flute and the guitar and the beautiful vocals is mind blowing! I hope you keep posting!!

[@tybulustyburn528]

Fabulous version...

[@britfolkgod]

I'm blown away at your guitar arrangement, how on earth did you manage to sound like you're playing Richard Thompson AND Sandy Denny's parts simultaneously? Yeah, if your guitar tab is freely available, sign me up! Also love the tenor recorder, just beautiful...

[@portcullis5622]

Lovely version of a great song.

Quite excellent. Delicate.

[@עלמהעובדיה]

it's really good cover!!!

[@Portlandmediaworks]

Fantastic.

[@EdLuhrs]

Big thumbs up! I'll be watching more for certain.

[@BartMazzetti]

Very nicely done.

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

Amazing cover...you guys are intense.

[@Matt_Baldwin]

I've heard Denny covers that do her justice pretty much never, until now. Clarke & Walker have a firm grip on the original, and then Clarke tweaks the phrasing and adds a tasteful recorder solo, as well, to leave her mark on the song. You have to be really, really good to make it look this easy.

[@g.pmoore4293]

I'll second that !

[@henkwesterik]

Fully agree

[@antonellalacasella762]

wonderful

[@SynthiaSensate]

Great job!

[@gfsandy]

[@anivardanyan]

[@mmida]

i love modesir :)) really really love

[@boogert.3644]

WOW!!!!

[@suziON]

gatheringay Sandy

[@folkmusicgirl]

You have done much, much justice for this beautiful song, lovely vocals and accompaniments with instruments. Can you please, please cover the song that Sandy sang called, "Fear a Bhata" (spelling?) Thank you.

[@suzannelawson9215]

One of the best covers of this incrediblly beautiful song. Is this on a CD of yours?

[@rremkes]

Sandy was the best, but you come close! Thank you.

[@drvoip]

Ben I would pay real money for you to make a video of the guitar tutorial!

[@თemo]

oo, yeah

[@bsilcio]

jesus. that was epic.

[@baishalisharmah]

Hi Ben . i love your cover and i want to be able to play the song on my guitar like you have done. i went to the link you have mentioned but i couldn't find the tabs. i could only find the the video of your cover song. Please help me find the tab. i shall be highly obliged . thankyou. you rock!

[@suziON]

sorry, my comment below makes no sense because I was trying to do a search and it auto corrected. I just don't want it transcribed to something offensive and can not delete from my cell. Very lovely song and talent. Thanks for sharing your talent! :)

[@almanhanja]

WOOOW!!

[@xoircal]

this is amazing! so beautifully played and sung... :-) (not sure i like the way ben makes it looks so easy though!!)

[@anivardanyan]

wow, Ben, I found it, thanks a lot!! :) gonna work hard on that... ^_^

[@lifelover515]

Exquisite interpretation of one of Fairportand Sandy's best. Is that some kind of vintage recorder remake you're playing? It adds an original, medieval touch and an extra dimension to Ben's fine guitar. Poor Mary. She was doomed to be highborn in cruel times.

[@sandkhatton]

Beautiful...heard it at Cropredy recently ! Can't get to the tabs, could you advise thks

[@GABRYIRISH]

OH YES!!

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Yes, as a regular Easycome and Lantern Society enthusiast I too am awaiting the album. It's going to be well worth it methinks. Sorry, speaking in 'folk' there.

[@henkermelinde]

Hello you two, this is my favourite Fairport Convention song and I think you've made a beautiful cover, I enjoyed it. I would like to complement Ben for his guitar part/arrangement. Wish I could play it like that so I ask Ben if he has tabs of this song or do you know how I can get them so I can practise. Greetings from Belgium.

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

I'm subscribing and wondering when your album is out? Thanks. Jason
