b. 24 Setember 1946, Manhattan, New York, USA. This stylish guitarist arrived
in Britain in 1961, aiming to further his academic education. He was, however,
attracted to music, garnering plaudits in Poet And The One Man Band prior
to joining Fotheringay,
the short-lived but innovative unit formed by Denny,
Sandy. Donahue continued his exemplary work with Head, Hands And Feet,
but is better recalled for a spell with Fairport
Convention. He remained with this renowned folk-rock group between 1972
and 1976, contributing to three of their late-period albums before opting for a
career as a session musician. This did not, however, preclude solo recordings
and recent album releases show him exploring 'new age' styles. Like Thompson,
Richard, Donahue is a guitarist's guitar player whose dexterity
transends commercial opportunity.
