FOLK giants, Steeleye Span, will be playing at the Cheese and Grain on Sunday 8th December.
Steeleye Span are amongst the best known acts of the British Folk Revival and were among the most commercially successful, thanks to their hit singles Gaudette” and “All Around My Hat”.
They had four Top 40 albums and achieved a certified gold record with sales of “All Around My Hat”.
Maddy Prior is a true legend of folk and popular music. Her voice swooping and soaring in harmony and melody. Her voice is still remarkable. It is also is hard to think how Steeleye will survive without her at the helm when she eventually does decide to hang up her hat (the one with the green willow around it). But let us bask in her glory, she still dances infectiously to the jigs, as happy in the moment as she has ever been.
Maddy Prior said, “Steeleye Span has a massive about of energy at the moment, as we have all these young players who have joined us and they are discovering this music with the same enthusiasm as we did”
