This came up as I was roaming Qobuz. Not great but good to hear the old line up.

Just sent me down a rabbit hole of the 1974 Ebbets Field recordings (of which this is a version). Before the Moon [sic] was released as a double CD. ‘Live archive recording from Ebbets Field in Denver, Colorado, USA on May 23 1974.
Original first release was a 2xCD limited edition in 2002 containing the two sets played that day. Later reissues are single disc package, omitting the second set, whose sound quality is sub-standard because of tape deterioration with age.’ [Discogs]
In 2011 Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field 1974 was released. The album Rising for the Moon is of course a different set of songs/ recordings.
Sandy Denny Early Home Recording now released on CD with a short book.

Olivia Chaney, Circus of Desire.
I missed the Nick Drake prom, but many say her versions of Hazy Jane 1 and other songs were outstanding.

If she sang the phone book it would sound great. I love her voice.

Martin Depp, who is writing about The Unthanks has an interview in Tradfolk. https://tradfolk.co/music/music-interviews/in-winter-the-unthanks-find-new-musical-landscapes/
I’ve listened to the double album once this morning rather quietly. I’ll listen again with headphones. Wintery, sad and sombre was my initial thought. Quite beautiful too in places.
