Just noticed this.

Jerry Donahoe, Gerry Conway and Pat Donaldson were original members, along with the late Sandy Denny and Trevor Lucas. Kathryn Roberts is a fine singer, but I'm unfamiliar with PJ Wright and Sally Barker. Please tell me about them.

Wish I could get to the shows!

P.J. Wright is a guitarist who played with the Stve Gibbons Band, the Dylan Project and Little Johnny England, and as a session musician with e.g. Chris While & Julie Matthews and Ashley Hutchings.

Sally Barker is a great folk and blues singer/songwriter and a founding member of the Poozies. I have fond memories of them when they toured Germany in the 1990s quite a lot. She had been a bit out of the public eye when she took time off after her husband's death to take care of the family, but had a spectacular comeback last year when she nearly won a talent constest show on BBC One.

Yes, it's Donahue.

The Poozies - no wonder her name rang a faint bell. Thank you, Reinhard!

So, Fotheringay is a band?

What country?

Leeneia,

Fortheringay was a folk-rock band formed around Sandy Denny after she left Fairport Convention. British (of sorts, Trevor Lucas was Australian by birth).

Apart from her folk career Sally Barker appeared on BBC's The Voice last year and made it to the later stages of the competition.

No Trev. No Sandy. No Fotheringay!
