Thanks Mag, hadn't thought to look for anything from them.

Saw them open for Traffic in '74, almost no one knew who they were. As might be expected for the time, prior to and at the start of their first song the cries were for "rock & roll, we want Traffic". After the first song, mostly stunned silence. After the 2nd, 'cheers' and all was good with the world. Can't remember for sure what the first song was, but want to say Matty Groves. Their 'Live' album, also titled "A Moveable Feast", is recorded from that tour. Sandy Denny was stunning.

Thanks, I grew up with folk music but I don't normally listen to it. I consider it my dad's music, what I can expect to hear when I go to visit.
I have to say some folk rock songs have a creative element I don't find with other genres. I've had 'Light of Day' on repeat for the last hour or so, this song just does it for me.
