[edit] References and sources

I wrote the first few sentences of this article. Her early life is documented in "Irish folk Trad and Blues: A Secret History" by Colin Harper and Trevor Hodgett. (2004). Ogg 11:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Among the two books listed and the Memorial Page linked in the article, I think there are enough references to meet encyclopedic criteria. Therefore, I'm removing the This article does not cite its references or sources. You can help Wikipedia by including appropriate citations. note at the beginning.--RattBoy 00:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I would mention that Sandy also appears on the song "Battle of Evermore" by Lad Zepplin, on the Lad Zepplin IV album.

Reinhard Zierke's British Folk resource centre held a lot of information on the more troubled aspects of Sandy's life. Unfortunately the resource vanished in late 2005 and I cannot find the same information elsewhere on the internet. If anyone knows the details of her later life (detailed references of her career, how alcoholism and depression affected her life and career, etc) then please share them with us. I seem to remember one such issue contributed to her fatal accident, but some light on the matter would be appreciated.

Last I looked, Zierke's content was still accessible via The Wayback Machine at http://www.archive.org/web/web.php - Useful resource. Still someone ought to ask Zierke if he'll let them host the content elsewhere. THere is (or was) also a not-quite-finished biography available somewhere on the internet. Apparently the writer had a falling out with the publisher, who re-assigned to the project to Clinton Heylin. --Chris 22:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

This is surely one of the best written articles Wikipedia has to offer. Thank you. --Peter Eisenburger 20:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
