09/25/2026 Friday “Iain Matthews & No Grey Faith The Songs of Sandy Denny” 8PM

Description

Iain Matthews & No Grey Faithʼs “Songs of Sandy Denny” is a tribute project honoring one of the most distinctive and influential voices in British folk music, and featuring the man who shared a stage with her for two years. Drawing from Sandyʼs rich  catalogue, the group brings fresh life to her songs while staying true to their emotional depth, poetic power, and quiet intensity. With reverence rather than nostalgia, No Grey Faith celebrates Dennyʼs legacy with performances that are intimate, honest, and deeply felt Featuring legendary ex-Fairport Convention singer/songwriter/ guitarist Iain Matthews, plus husband and wife team, guitarist/ mandolinist Jim Fogarty, and New Zealand native, vocalist/ songwriter Lindsay Gilmour. The quartet is rounded out with fretless bassist and producer Walt Rich.

No Grey Faith blends Sandy Dennyʼs magnificent songwriting with an acoustic roots-driven sound. The show will feature both Sandyʼs songs and a selection of Fairport Convention,  eimagined. This is music for anyone whoʼs always loved Sandyʼs writing but never had the honor of seeing her live. Donʼt miss it. Look for Iain Matthews & No Grey Faithʼs new cd in September of 2026, “The Songs of Sandy Denny” on Heyday Again Records. In a career spanning over fifty years he has featured on  over 100 albums and in 2018 published an autobiography cowritten with author and broadcaster Ian Clayton, “Thro’ My Eyes : A Memoir’’, about his life in the music industry.
