I'd always kicked around with rock bands and played in folk clubs but here was a chance to combine my two favourite musical loves." "Ragged Heroes Annual" was released to much acclaim and notice was taken of Vikki's lovely voice. They were invited to perform at the Cropredy Festival in 1984 and gigs started to escalate. However the band drifted apart and eventually called it a day because " our bar tab usually came to more than our fee"
Then somebody sent Fairport Convention a copy of Vikki's album "Lost Lady Found". At the same time Jerry Donahue heard Vikki sing and was moved to tears because she sounded so much like Sandy Denny. Following these two events was a long period of appearing with Fairport Convention, fronting the newly formed Fotheringhay and forming her own band featuring stellar performers Clive Bunker, Fred T Baker and Chris Conway.
