‘Songbird’
by Carla Fuchs

A fantastic new project from Sandy Denny's daughter Georgia Rose Lucas, The Sandy Denny Estate, Carla Fuchs and Talking Elephant. Nine tracks on the album have been created from lyrics found in the notebooks of Sandy Denny. Some of them are part, some full songs, but the commonality is that none of the lyrics had previously been put to music or used in any of Sandy’s published songs.
She has crafted nine new songs that can sit proudly alongside Denny's legacy of timeless songs. The resulting album is the culmination of Carla’s musical skills and Georgia’s artistic skills, an album that honours Sandy Denny and builds upon the musical legacy that continues to inspire a new generation. The 'Songbird' is now ready to fly.
