Hooray for Steeleye Span! (OK, they're not a patch on Fairport Convention, but they're not bad, eh!)
Just don't tell Peta. She goes pale whenever she hears 'All around my hat'. 
Groovy column, by the way MaW. Keep it up!

I agree
(rather showing my age here)
I was the head of the Entertainments Committee at my college and was proud to engage Fairport Convention for one of our functions. The following year I managed to book Mott the Hoople a few weeks before they had their number one hit 'All the young dudes'... boy was I popular!
I have met both FC and SS through their long association with Wavendon All Music Plan (Johnny Dankworth and Cleo Laine's excellent music venue/school)
I can only say that their performanced improved with age!

My father and sister are big Steeleye Span fans, which is lucky, as Maddy Prior visits the Island regularly.
Although I must confess that my favourite album is "Individually & Collectively", which in my view has a far larger rangfe of theirs.
But everybody, join in: 
"There were three drunken maidens,
Came from the Isle of Wight...."

Glad you liked the article, Mark. I really must make the effort to get hold of some Fairport Convention music, as from what I hear it is well worth listening to.
* plans a trip to the music shop at the weekend *
I think it's almost time to start writing the next edition...

Maddie Prior? Wasn't she one of Phoenix's clones in the late-70s X-Men comic book...?
