I love them!

I have the LP (somewhere) with the track which features Peter Sellers.

I liked what I heard...back in the mid 70's. I can only remember one hit in Australia....Hard Times In Old England (listening to it right now).  They have a very old English/Irish folk music/dance a jig sound.... really unique at that time...... :)


People may mix up their name with Steely Dan... :o

Commoner's Crown is the LP and the track with Peter Sellers on ukelele is "New York Girls"

I'm not a huge fan, but they made some pretty fine stuff...

'Gaudete' holds two distinctions...the first British Top 20 hit to be sung a capella and entirely in Latin!

That's pretty funny because when I saw this thread on the front page I said..."HUH???"

Never heard of them. Educate me.

Just saw this....

:-\\ err....okay.....forget what I said about educating me.  Sorry the closest you'll ever get me to this is Dexy's Midnight Runners' Come On Eileen...

Steeleye Span

Steeleye Span

Steeleye Span


Thank you so much...They are almost impossible to download. I should have known you were a fan you seem to have great musical taste.
And I think I read in another thread that you mentioned The Strawbs. I am in AWE

I'm not really feeling them Deb but did you try youtube? I found several clips.

Now you are talking my type of music.  Steeleye Span along with Fairport Convention and Lidisfarne are 3 of the greatest groups to come out of Englands folk Rock scene of the late 60's. Maddy Prior is an amazing voice that ranks up there with Sandy denny and Annie Haslam.  And to Quote Annie Haslam..."Steeleye Span is like a bus, it goes along and people get on and people get off of it. Sometimes the bus goes along the route you want to go, and sometimes it turns off, so you get off".

Wasn't a big fan of them, used to have a boyfriend that was about 12 years older then me and he wanted me to track down a cd of theirs, and I, being a librarian who likes solving mysteries, did so.  Not really my cup of tea though.

was $500 but onsale at Amazon for $241  I put a link to the amazon listing below the photo.

I must admit that I'm a bit hot and cold about Steeleye Span, Fairport was the better band in my opinion.
I particularly like their versions of Black Jack Davy, The Lark In The Morning, Cam Ye O'er Frae France, All
Around My Hat and Gaudete (an original choice of single, even in the 70s).
