Prior to his association with Jethro Tull, Gerry Conway was the drummer for the band Fotheringay as well as for Eclection (other members included Kerrilee Male, Georg Kajanus [as George Hultgreen], Michael Rosen and Trevor Lucas). In their early years, Steeleye Span also drafted on the services of Conway, who was a friend of the band. Conway played on their now-classic song "Dark-Eyed Sailor". His studio works also include the debut solo albums of Sandy Denny and Shelagh McDonald and appearances on albums by Wizz Jones, Jim Capaldi and others. He toured and recorded as a member of Cat Stevens' band for six years. In late 2007, he recorded percussion parts on Dan Crisp's debut album Far From Here.
