- In this video we're trying on a little more Steeleye Span. Cynthia says her cousin, Misty, would be annoyed by this song, as it's attached to a nursery rhyme that their teacher used to quote every time that he saw Misty. This should be interesting. Enjoy!

That was fun, made me pull the album out. That's not a banjo, it's either Tim Hart on dulcimer or Peter Knight on mandolin. The next track on the album is Alison Gross, and is an absolute killer, fusing the electric and folk sound. Whole record is brilliant in fact.
I heard Steeleye Span for the first time the summer of 1973 in a Boston record store. They dropped the needle on "Below The Salt" and it was one of those "I've gotta buy this!" moments (I miss record stores! I also miss being 17 years old!) Bought "Parcel of Rogues" as well and was totally hooked. Saw them play the Tower Theater in Philadelphia in October 1976 or 1977, which had to have been their commerical high water mark. (Their show from the previous night at the Beacon Theater in Boston is available for streaming). Anyway, there was no band like them. Anytime I want to feel good I know I can rely on Steeleye Span.
Steeleye Span are British folk royalty. They were originally founded in 1969 by Ashley Hutchings, the bassist from the group Fairport Convention with Tim Hart and Maddy Prior who were an established folk duo in the British scene. They were at one time joined by Martin Carthy the legendary folk guitarist whose arrangement of Scarborough Fair was used (uncredited) by Paul Simon. The group is still active although Maddy is the only original member left.
The instrument you thought was a banjo, was a mandolin.
Yeah, I'm usually better at picking out the instruments. Somehow, this one stumped me.
Maddy Prior has perhaps one of the more distinctive voices out there. I still have the vinyl for this album. These guys are awesome. An artist friend of mine was able to put the picture off the cover of this album on a tee shirt for me. Wish I still had it. Nice reaction. Thanks. ☮
Steeleye Span went through many variations over the years.
Thank you for reacting to a favorite group.
One album or one song from these talented artists is not indicative of their vast catalog.

All great listening 😊
Rather than this being 'based on the nursery rhyme' Steeleye Span are known for giving a contemporary treatment to traditional English folk music, and this is their take on a particular traditional English folk song. The nursery rhyme is based on that folk song, not the other way around.
I discovered Steeleye Span in high school, got really into them in college, and have had a richer life thereby. A dozen wonderful albums, more lives than a cat, and a ton of sheer joy in music. "One Misty Moisty Morning" is among my favorites, but you really need to listen to Thomas the Rhymer and The Weaver and the Factory Maid and half a dozen more.

But you could listen to nearly any of their songs and find something to love.
While we're on the subject of mist, how about listening to "Mist on a Monday Morning" by The Move, you can really hear the path that Roy Wood was going down towards creating the Electric Light Orchestra in 1968 with this song.
These were a english folk rock group band back in the 70s..
Sandals, beards and real ale. English folk rock is something I've lately come to appreciate as I've learned more about music and guitar playing. I enjoyed this.
I love Steeleye Span, especially Maddy Prior's crystal clear voice.. As others have said, Alison Gross is worth a listen as is Bedlam Boys and Fighting For Strangers.
Second Bedlam Boys. Powerful stuff.
For many decades Maddy Prior was my absolute favourite female singer ...then I discovered Floor Jansen....
Try Eva Cassidy. czcams.com/video/crUm-v6o-0s/video.html
I discovered Steeleye Span late in life. After hearing “Thomas the Rhymer” I went and bought everything by them on Vinyl. Sometimes, Steeleye Span will combine two versions of the same folklore into one song such as “Long Lankin”, you ought to listen to “Dark Eyed Sailor” from the album “Hark , the village Wait” , their first album.
I've never heard this one before. Really cool!
Parcel of Rogues is a great album you should get it
Col.. I’m trawling the archives to see what NOT to ask for cis they’ve already done it … even though it’s over a year ago I just KNEW you’d be in here wearing your Morris dancing gear 😅.. and here you n Del are .. !!😆

Check out their acapella classic "Gaudete" sometime.
This band did British folk plus folk-rock renditions of songs from The Threepenny Opera (All Around My Hat), and Bertold/Brecht numbers. For a similar but different English folk style try Lindisfarne's Lady Eleanor or The Fog on the Tyne.
The Threepenny opera predates All Around My Hat, which is of 19th Century origin.
I'd definitely second the suggestion of Lindisfarne but my preference would be for something like "Winter Song"
The Black Freighter was amazing! Just saying... ;)
This song (the lyrics) is most likely based on 'The Wiltshire Wedding' 1680.
Interesting. Is this something of historical importance?
@@hanierfamily I used to perform this song in folk clubs around the north of England and always did a little preamble for each song I did. This meant that I had to do a little research and that's how I found out the connection of this song to the words of a ditty called 'The Wiltshire Wedding'. I believe the tune comes from a different source. Wiltshire is a county in Southwest England which is culturally rather different to the north. The north has its traditions more in the industrial 18th and 19th century, after all this is where the Industrial Revolution took off. The southwest is much more agricultural and more connected to the sea. So folk songs are very different all over the UK. For a taste of the north check out a trio called 'The Oldham Tinkers' especially a song called 'The Peterloo Massacre' about a real event which happened in Manchester in 1819.
Their biggest commercial success was the single Gaudete which is entirely acapella which I think you may enjoy.
It's sad that more of their music didn't become a "commercial success." More people need to be listening to them and buying their albums... IMO, the world would be abetter place for it. Their music is absolutely wonderful across 4-5 decades...
Someone wasn't really getting it ....
Could try "the weaver and the factory maid" by SS.
So beautiful.
Steeleye Span are one of the longest-lived bands in the English Folk-Rock tradition. I HIGHLY recommend you check out their more modern stuff like their set at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival here... czcams.com/video/l9eDa1dQ2mQ/video.html
We had the honour of supporting them once and they were always top-drawer professionals.
