Fotheringay 2 is the second and final album by the group formed by Sandy Denny after she left Fairport Convention in 1969.

The band was short-lived, and broke up in 1971 after only a small number of tracks for this album had been completed, some of which then subsequently appeared on other compilations.

The remainder were assembled (posthumously in the cases of Denny and Trevor Lucas), with additional studio recording as needed, from masters in various states of completeness by Jerry Donahue and finally released in 2008.

The two Trevor Lucas/Peter Roche originals would later be recorded for Fairport Convention albums after Lucas and lead guitarist Jerry Donahue joined the group.

Knights of the Road appeared on Rosie in 1973, also featuring Fotheringay drummer Gerry Conway, and Restless on Rising for the Moon in 1975 by which time Denny had also briefly rejoined the group.
