Not exactly.  Judy Dyble was the original female vocalist of Fairport
Convention.  She appears on their first album - "Fairport Convention".
Denny then joined for their second album "What We Did On Our Holidays".
She can also be found on the excellent fairport discs - "Unhalfbricking"
and "Liege and Lief".  These two are an excellent introduction to the
Denny-era Fairport.  "Heyday", live recordings from the BBC's Peel
sessions was also recently released.

> Her voice was just extraordinary.  

Agreed. 

An equally important member of early Fairport was the GREAT Richard
Thompson, guitarist/writer extraordinaire.  Now this is one of the
few musicians I would really like to see collaborate with Kate.
