Steeleye Span

Since their debut in 1969, Steeleye Span havebeen one of the most influential names in British roots music. Pioneers of folk-rock, Steeleye Span changed the face of folk music forever, taking it from small clubs into the world of gold discs and international tours. Members have come and gone over the years, with past and present lineups virtually a who’s who of the British folk scene, but Steeleye has always remained an institution, at the forefront of the genre they helped define.

Steeleye Span 2008 finds Maddy Prior – the voice of Steeleye for 34 years – back at the helm of a line-up featuring band stalwart and fiddler extraordinaire Peter Knight, Rick Kemp on bass, Ken Nicol (Albion Band) on guitar and vocals and Liam Genockey on the drum stool.
