Sandy Denny: Sandy and Band, Coping Cheerfully
Tony Stewart, NME, 5 April 1972
FROM THE outside the Denny residence in Fulham looks a place of tranquility. Inside, though, a different story prevails. As Watson the huge Airedale lumbers over furniture, rock and roll, courtesy of the Bunch blasts from the studio-room; Trevor Lucas criticising and praising the efforts. Meanwhile, Sandy tries hard, but with difficulty, to sort out petrol money for the road manager, gig times and places.
