He didn’t only play with such FAIRPORT CONVENTION offshoots as THE ALBION BAND and WAZ! and the band members’ solo projects – Dave Whetstone composed several songs for the mothership per se, songs that landed on "Gladys' Leap" and a few other albums. His own discography, however, seems rather short, which is why it’s immensely satisfying to see the veteran release a fresh record on April 10th, titled “Winding To You” and featuring his old friends.
It started in 2025, when Dave took part in Ashley Hutchings’s anniversary bash, where he met a number of familiar faces, including Dave Mattacks, Simon Nicol and Blair Dunlop, and thus the idea of a new song-cycle arrived, although those familiar with the “Grandson Of Morris On” will recognize at least one tune that Whetstone contributed to the project. A stellar line-up of folkers lead by a master of the trade: must be interesting.
