Steeleye Span news

[calimac]

From a press release ... "the band approach their 2011 tour" - not that I'm going to be able to hear this; they're only touring England, and southern and a bit of midlands England at that - "with not one but two new members. Joining Maddy Prior, Peter Knight, Rick Kemp and Liam Genockey are guitarist Julian Littman and multi-instrumentalist Pete Zorn." Well, Ken Nicol, the competent but uninspiring guitarist who took over when Bob Johnson retired didn't last very long after all, did he? "Now playing as a six piece for the first time in many years, Steeleye Span have chosen this tour to revisit one of their most iconic albums, Now We Are Six - playing the record in its entirety to open the show." In its entirety? Does that mean the two tracks of nursery rhymes in childish falsetto, too?

Anyway? That was their best period since the 70s!

Well, I have no comparison, since I never saw them earlier. All I know is that it was magnificent, and I am always going to be very glad I saw them in concert.

I never saw them in the 70s, either. I think we're talking past each other. You said "it was magnificent anyway" as if that was despite it not being a good period in their history. I replied that it was a great period in their history. I know this from having heard all their records.
