Uma das cantoras mais celebradas da cena folk britânica, Sandy Denny que já cantava na banda Strawbs, ganhou respeito quando entrou em 1968 para a Fairport Convention, que na época a banda era considerada uma das maiores expoentes do folk music.
Apesar do imenso sucesso ao lado Fairport Convention, a cantora decidiu – influenciada e apaixonada por Trevor Lucas – abandonar o grupo para formar a banda Fotheringay, e lançam em 1970 o primeiro e único álbum da banda, Fotheringay.
O disco teve um ótimo resultado, mas com a vida tempestuosa do casal Sandy e Trevor – já casados – e pressionados pela gravadora, decidem por fim ao grupo. No ano seguinte, Sandy parte para carreira solo com a gravação do álbum The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, que não chega a ser um sucesso, e encontra tempo para aceitar um convite do cantor Robert Plant para participar da gravação de uma faixa do álbum Led Zeppelin IV. Sandy marca presença cantando em Battle of Evermore.
No final de 1971, Sandy se reuniu com membros da Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, Linda Thompson e outros músicos para formar o grupo The Bunch, e gravar um disco só de covers. Aproveitando a companhia dos músicos do The Bunch, Sandy gravou o que seria considerado seu melhor álbum, e entrou em uma longa turnê pelo Reino Unido e Europa. Após a turnê do Sandy, Sandy Denny entra novamente em estúdio, as gravações do Like an Old Fashioned Waltz concluíram em agosto de 1973, mas o disco só seria lançado no ano seguinte. Após algumas andanças, a cantora volta aos braços da Fairport Convention e em 1976 deixa a banda novamente.
Em 1977, Sandy lançou seu ultimo álbum, Rendezvous foi produzido por Trevor Lucas e trouxe um som mais contemporâneo.
Em 1978, Sandy sofreu uma hemorragia cerebral após cair de uma escada, o que lhe levou ao estado de coma e a morte aos 31 anos.
