steeleye span

[biggles]

anyone like them? , try finding this " long-a-growing "
quality tune

 

[NMH]

I have their debut LP, but only keep it for their version of 'Lowlands of Holland'. I find them twee, otherwise.
Fairport Convention were a different matter, however.

 

[philsussex]

Didn't they do some bloody awful Christmas song?

They had (amazingly) 2 hit records.
The one you refer to was 'Gaudete', the other one was 'All Around My Hat'

Not a big fan, I too much prefer Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny

Tragically died after falling down stairs.
She cut albums previous to Fairport Convention, solo and with The Strawbs.
A couple of stints with Fairport, and another band 'Fotheringay' for one LP, she made some more solo albums - and of course that famous guest performance recorded with Led Zeppelin on 'The Battle Of Evermore'.

Special high moments in her career are probably with The Strawbs on "I'm On My Way", and Fairport Convention "Fotheringay" and "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" for anyone who wants to find out about her.

Try humming 'Remember You're a Womble' next time you hear 'All Around My Hat'.

You will never hear it any other way again...

... and the original line-up with Judy Dyble.

They shared a gig with Hendrix at Falmer.

Well they were the people in the womble suits apparently.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Their famous song was 'Ambrose is a twat'. Apart from that they were total crap folk.

However, Fagan and Becker did do some pretty cool stuff. Ehrr?

Pentangle anybody?

Bert Jansch Hails from Ticehurst, SUSSEX.

 

[Jonno]

Their version of Gaudete is the most pretentious and ridiculous recording in all of history.

Why guilty, they are a great band? But apart from a vague name similarity bear no resemblance to Steeleye Span, but you knew that

I LOVE Steely Dan! I was obsessed with the band in my teens.

'Haitian Divorce' is my favourite. That wah-wah guitar!

The Peg is my favourite - much better than De La Soul's version aka Eye Know (couldn't really call it a sample, they stole the whole bloody song!).

apologies for hijacking the thread.

Probably the only band that I have listened to regularly since I first got into them in 1974, regardless of my varying tastes, fashions etc. over the years.
