Misty Moisty Morning - Steeleye Span

[Kettles147]

@3tangle3 rather have bad teeth than a terrible healthcare system ;)

[sillybabybunnies]

aw, MAN! I missed the 87 festival! Dammit!  I would have learned about this fine old english band at least 20 years sooner!

[seonidh]

their Parcel of Rogues album about Scottish Jacobite movement was amazing

[modelleg]

Maddy Prior, Sandy Denny and Annie Haslam all born in 1947. wow. There must have been something beautiful in the British water that year.

[tracy070991]

Wow, takes me back. Thank you.

[Arcusinoz]

Steeleye alway the greatest

[The06roadking]

I poked a lot of smot in the 70's listening to this and Gentle Giant and I loved it then. Now with a clear head I can hear subtle nuances, notes, and tones that I missed back then. This music is timeless. Youth is wasted on the young....

[twlthteg]

Come on atfatw! Where are you? You've been too silent lately! I miss you!

[crazyazie]

Spoons? Love it! I haven't played those for years. LOL. Thanks for posting. :)

[robibm2003]

This is one of those songs I catch myself humming or whistling whilst driving or doing yardwork.

[Yossarian1955]

Love it! Thanks for posting!

[soundman2002x]

from 74? 36 years ago and that music made my soul sing happy.All the good musics we became open to.. wow.. I am glad to have been apart of it and still am,.

[Taylor510ceL9]

This was recorded at the 1987 Philadelphia Folk Festival

[Rajamuttu]

@Taylor510ceL9

Uh, yeah -- that's what the label says.

Boy do they sound like then had done it 150 times too many by this point. Come to think of it, 1987 Philly Folk Fest was not one the highlights of the folk calendar -- really flabby.

At least they tossed that Irish tune into it or the song would have fallen off the end of the stage.

[Rumplestiltskin16]

@Taylor510ceL9 , man, I would give my firstborn to see Steeleye Span at PFF, but they were before my time. It always amazes me how much unassuming spirit they have, their rich knowledge of traditional music, and how they can 'cover' any traditional song and make it really interesting!

[tamlin10]

didnt the british give those same native americans blankets with smallpox, long before the trail of tears?? if you are looking for examples of men abusing other men, you can start with the sumerians, and finish in our time... i would rather look at the good deeds of men, and women from all countries, rather than grouping the good people of any country, along with the selfish, greedy men of industry, and their lackeys, the politicians!!!!

[slagmilkcard]

The bass player, and singer are in the wrong place, the band don't look set up properly, also the bass player  doesn't right for the band, he looks like he stepped out of Black Lace and should be playing Agadoo , also he has not got Steeleye Span hair

[berjah1]

but wait..what has any of this got to do with the band...thyre greate...haha...

[berjah1]

guinness is only about 4% alcohol...stout , i think refers more to the color and density than to alcohol... content or flavor...try russian imperial stout ...

[Taylor510ceL9]

atfatw,

Please take your hate and vitriol to another site. I don't like it, and I will remove your posts if you continue.

[oopsydahlia]

@Taylor510ceL9 - oh please yes, he defiles every Steeleye Span he touches.

[bwanna23]

Why are you nuts discussing all this madness during Misty Moisty Morning? Have you no sense of decency?

[Sydenham519]

LOL. Point well taken.

[atfatw]

dumb sydenham

you dirty bri ts fight not alongsisde with us butat our command you lacks the gerts being a nation of wimps to stand up for yourself against our imperial warmonging in iraq. face facts limey you people really, truely SUCK!!!!!

[Sydenham519]

Well, at lest the rest of us on this page can spell and use punctuation properly. If I take your meaning correctly, it seems you despise the USA almost as much as you do the UK. So, trying to sell yourself as an American patriot falls kind of flat, ATF.

Again, your arguments make no sense and are contradictory. Why not take this idea of yours onto Yahoo or Paltalk? you'd fit right in ;)

[atfatw]

sindenham,

are you crazy? I LOVE AMERICA I can't get behind its british style war mongering land stealing of iraqi oil fields America and brito own these hugely profit making oil and have always wanted to posses them always and now have them at a large cost of iraqi lives

[Sydenham519]

Besides, ATF...you're not fighting alongside ANYONE, you're hiding behind the Americans, whom you seem to despise as doing 'imperial warmonging'...

[braveTOMINATOR]

Right on. This little bastard wouldn't fight for anything. He just likes flaming people online.

[RogerF337]

atfatw. You really make me laugh! I didn't think anyone could be so stooooopid, but you've proved they can.

[RogerF337]

I always that??? I presume you mean you always thought, but even that is debatable. And yes, we do kill, so just watch out!! I'm puting you on ignor now, so dont bother contacting me again. HA HA HA!!!  I WON!!

[braveTOMINATOR]

Sir, do you suffer from the condition of being constantly high?

[Sydenham519]

"Can't we all agree that both the U.S. and the U.K. are two of the best places on Earth?" - Tom

I can agree to that, no problem.

[atfatw]

sindenham,

just what are you talking about?

[braveTOMINATOR]

Can't we all agree that both the U.S. and the U.K. are two of the best places on Earth?

Sure we have our differences, and our own problems. But when it gets down to it, there is nowhere that I would rather be than in the English speaking west. That includes the U.S., the U.K., Canada, and Australia.

Why can't we say both wish "God Bless America" AND "God Save the Queen"?

[atfatw]

braveTOMITOR

are you CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! britain SUCKS!!!!!!!!

its the worse place in the civilized world!

maybe in europe France and choimany with the better economies of these places

would be good to live but not UK Armenia has some very beautiful scenery a clean and totally unpolluted place with drinkable water in streams would be a good place to vacation

[braveTOMINATOR]

Some of the most beautiful country side in the world (Next to the U.S.'s Washinton state, my hometown) is in Britain's countryside. You can't argue that at very least the UK is a good place to visit.

[atfatw]

maybe in the little set asides for nature like new forest where sherlock holmes friend watson would visit but britain is very flat and ugly though a few places are scenic I would not go to uk for love or money but now that IRA bomb menace has stopped maybe its safe

[Sydenham519]

It IS possible with many educated Americans and British Subjects , but not with ATF's type.

[braveTOMINATOR]

Syden, I'm curious: Are you a British person visting Canada, or a native born Canadian who considers himself a Commonwealth subject?

[Sydenham519]

TOM:

I was born in England and raised there for a while. Have lived on both sides of the 'pond' and also in the USA and Mexico for extended periods. My wife and family are old stock Canadian (UCL) and I am a proud citizen of that Dominion: 'British by birth, Canadian by choice'. That being said, all citizens of Canada (and the REAL commonwealth nations) are subjects of Her Majesty, while being citizens of Canada and even immigrants make oaths to that order.

[braveTOMINATOR]

The reason I phrased it that way is that a lot of Canadians (my grandparents included) consider themselves "Independent Canadians". Canada did gain full legal independence, however I recognize that there are many Canadians that consider themselves British subjects.

[Sydenham519]

Just as you have NOI and Communist Americans, we have republican and separatists in Canada. But even though a communist in the USA may hate the Jeffersonian Republic and despise the Presidency, he is still American and subject to her rules, laws, and traditions. He can disavow all he wants, but he is not the rule, he is the exception . The same is true of us - and this is a Constitutional Monarchy, whether some Canadians prefer to think so or not.

[braveTOMINATOR]

And what was your "Invade, attack, destabilize" statement in reference to?

[braveTOMINATOR]

How is the U.S. Napoleonic in any way?

The First French Empire was a constitutional imperial monarchy. The U.S. is a democratic republic.

It is just inflamatory name calling to title Washington as a traitor (he was a traitor to England, but a hero to the American colonial people).

And I have no idea where you get the idea that Madison "sold us to the French".

And by saying that there is a statue of Lincoln in Manchester, aren't you suggesting that the people of Manchester are Amerophiles?

[Sydenham519]

Tom - Canada is an independent Dominion. A Dominion divided into provinces, and is a Constitutional Monarchy. We share a monarch with the UK, and that makes us all Subjects of the crown- PERIOD. Proud Canadians are proud of Canada. There are people in Canada who want not part of that; They are called separatists. Or they move to the States. You have them in your country as well in many forms. There is not enough room here to respond to the rest of your comments. So will break it up..

[Sydenham519]

Tom, you asked I answered. I hold three degrees in History, including a post graduate in Modern (post Classical) history. So, I am fine on the facts thanks.

Canada is a confederated Dominion.  Canadians are subjects of the Crown. There is no option in that - regardless of what makes Americans (or ex patriots) feel comfortable about their early history.

Canadian and their loyal American allies stood against Washington and his rebellion; many of latter settled here.

[braveTOMINATOR]

I never asked about your credentials. On the contrary, I merely asked you to address the points I presented.

Your argument lacks cohesion. You state that you hold degrees in history, THEREFORE Canadians are subjects of the crown THEREFORE Americans make up stuff about Canada to feel comfortable with their own history.

I'm afraid I don't understand your argument. Please clarify your conclusion statement.

[Sydenham519]

My arguments were made in the face of a rhetorical attack on my people and culture. They were deliberately inflammatory and almost entirely reciprocal.

I did not attempt to make any such points re:'THEREFORE'. They are there in B&W for all to see. I stated the nature of our governance, and a brief account of why we are that way. Don't take my word for it - look it up.

As for my credentials, they are relevant and introductory. I will attempt to clarify my last point regarding comfort...cntd

[Sydenham519]

The comfort I refer to is that of revisionism. The sterile, red-white-and-blue, talking constitution cartoon version of the revolution that is envisioned by even your politicians. It was a bloody and selfish war between brothers, and we are the other brother. I am all for 'burying the hatchet' over 1776, but you folks need to recognize the real motives for your revolution were not altruistic. Liberty was the sales pitch - subjugation was the reality. Go ask Dixie or the Indians.

[Sydenham519]

So, to my Canadian eyes there is no room for interpretation on Washington. His revolution displaced, dispossessed, and killed the ancestors of almost a third of modern Canadians. He may be a hero to modern Americans, but then so was Michael Jackson - cult of personality. But you are correct: It was intentionally inflammatory...and I apologize if I offended.

The Bonapartist references are historical references to the changes in US policy and Law under Napoleon's Quisling, Madison.

[braveTOMINATOR]

Just as British campaigns into the U.S. killed hundreds upon hundreds of American colonists.

I'm sorry, but it sounds like you don't respect Washington simply because he was on the other side of the Revolutionary War.

And though I understand that you are trying to throw a jab at U.S. culture, no American would put Michael Jackson in the same category as Washington.

For that matter, most Americans think that Jackson was a pedophile.

[Sydenham519]

The largest campaigns in the Colonial period were against the Acadian (French). The groups of British regulars who saw most action were Yankee. Their dead are memorialised in places like Quebec City and Louisbourg. Men like Ben Frankiln spurred them on. I hope you are correct about Mr Jackson. Perhaps Mr Obama would have been a better example, but there are myriads of them aren't there ;)

Re: British campaigns...can you name ONE that was not retaliatory? Why don't YOU back your points?

[Sydenham519]

I hope you're correct about Jackson. My experience with American students, tourists, and military buddies is that they were very sad over the loss of 'the King of Pop'... I am truly glad to hear a sensible opinion on him from south of the 49th.

I should not have compared him to Maj. Washington, you are 100% correct on that. But, you are incorrect assuming the reasons I dislike him (ie sides) , and this forum is not appropriate or big enough to explain it properly.

[atfatw]

sinenhammy,

I did not know that about our great leader killing lots of canadians. too bad he did not kill all the english imperialist

storm troopers

[Sydenham519]

Great leader? Judging by the level of your argument, you're not even a proper American ATF. Funny how those Imperialists are the only one's left fighting BESIDE you, eh? I will no longer respond to your ill educated rhetoric. Get a life.

[Sydenham519]

You are correct. To term the USA as Napoleonic is unfair...to Napoleon. :P

[braveTOMINATOR]

In what way? Napoleon was a despot who consistently misused his power militarily.

Name one time that the U.S. showed the gross misuse of force, and even imperialistic fervor that Napoleon did.

[Sydenham519]

It was a gross (mis)use of force to use genocidal military tactics against tribal peoples, for a single example.

Imperial ambitions: Manifest destiny, the Westward expansion into Mexican territories, Banana Republics, the containment policy, 'Leader's of the Free World' and the list goes on...

Fervour? Look at the Capital or Mt Rushmore.

Bonaparte was at least honest and naked in his ambitions, American politicians hid behind Liberty's skirts. Rhetoric aside the ambitions were similar.

[braveTOMINATOR]

Genocidal tactics? Name a particular act of genocide committed by the U.S. against the Native Americans. I have a feeling I know what you are going to cite, but I will give you the podium.

[Sydenham519]

I suppose the most obvious and famous example in post colonial America of genocidal tactics against natives would be what is know to the Cherokee as the 'Trail of Tears' in the 19th century. Is that the one you wanted to were thinking of?

[braveTOMINATOR]

Huh. Refreshingly, not what I expected. That is the only example in which I think there is any validity.

While the trail of tears might have been a horrifying ordeal for my ancestors, I think that it is not at all an example of Genocide.

While I can't imagine the heartache that must have been associated with being kicked out of your homeland, it was hardly a systematic and total elimination of a population. The deaths on the trail of tears were due to exposure and disease.

[atfatw]

maddy pryor,, sort of cute, amusing, and clever. too bad she is english.a real tradgedy she would have been far better off as an American.

[braveTOMINATOR]

@ATF

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[coolguy9996]

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms?

[braveTOMINATOR]

What does the BATF have to do with anything?

[atfatw]

truthpatrol, first we need to deal most effectively with our british loving rich. if America doesn't change soon it may become just as vile nasty and utterly good for nothing just as england is when that happens there can be no turning back

[RatherLargeAllan]

You say british and then you refer to england. Who are you actually referring to? Or are you just too 'american' to know there's a difference??

[atfatw]

funny, funky, silly, maddy prior she is colorfull I give her that

[modelleg]

America is the only nation to go from wilderness to decadence without any culture of it's own in between.

[MrTruthpatrol]

America is fast following the greatness of Rome..... Beware.....the high and mighty fall very hard. If Americans do not wake up and truly love and respect the country, and the land...........

[RatherLargeAllan]

When you say 'America' do you mean America or the smaller bit of the northern part of that continent.?

[MrTruthpatrol]

I mean "the smaller bit of the northern part......", but I guess my comments could apply to anywhere, really.

[babyblob01]

Well we can only expect that sort of drivel coming from a member of the most insular folk in the world. Listen, stick to your brainless yankee gangsta rap shit and let folk who care about music enjoy without reading your garbage.

[atfatw]

babybobno1andno.2,

well, a member of simply the very best finest peolple that ever graced God's good earth is offering his two cents worth, and thats what your opinion is worth limey-boy two cents. although I must say thart Maddy Prior and company is the finest most entertaining band that englond has even produced or will ever produce.

[atfatw]

that ol' reed maddy prior, she sure is a bright bouncy entertainer no wonder steeleye span is so successfull.

[atfatw]

Hi ho put on one of maddy's better records and help yourself to a small overpriced glass of mediocre LUKEWARM crummy english pee beer

and a steak and kidney and bladders pie with a rather sour crust and you can know whart its like to be a real britisher

[SkodaMart]

Or you could go and have a nice cold tasteless Budweiser, or is that actually a decent Czech beer?

Sit and watch TV and eat oversized fat burgers!! Live the American Dream!!

[atfatw]

skodATRUCK

what about you what do you people eat in czaechoslavkia beside pig pig fat pig feet mushrooms braga beer blood sausages

eat more vegatbles llaaaandsmmmannn! if there are any in bohemia

[SkodaMart]

Just so happens I'm from the UK, live in the UK and have a very good dentist too!!

Never been to Czechoslovakia. They make nice beer though!

[atfatw]

skodatruck, you're from the uk you certainly have my sympathies only hell is more undesirable than england,

[3tangle3]

@SkodaMart its only england that was said to have bad teeth anyway , stop dragging the welsh into it ;)

[SkodaMart]

@3tangle3 How on earth am I dragging the bloody Welsh into anything?

[3tangle3]

@SkodaMart UK and dentists. I know the english insult by americans is a lie so dont worry

[SkodaMart]

@3tangle3 Sorry. I still don't see how I am insulting the Welsh? Maddy Prior is from Blackpool? (Which is further away from Wales than I am!)

[3tangle3]

@SkodaMart i was just joking about the teeth reference argh! :D ;P

[Sydenham519]

We find your American beer like making love in a canoe. It's f****g close to water.

[RatherLargeAllan]

Most USA beers are weak enough to legally sell in a sweet shop!

[Pangael]

RatherLargeAllan,

No argument there. I was about 25 when I tasted my first Guiness and had an epiphany: Americans had been getting screwed by American brewers for about a century.

[adventussaxonum]

@Pangael -Just heard an English brewer is selling a beer at 41% p/v called "Sink the Bismarck".

That's as strong as a whisky! Wonder if they sell it in pints.

[Pangael]

@adventussaxonum,

41%? Geeze, adds a whole new meaning to 'single malt' ! :-)

[themountainviewguy]

i love the electric folk music! fantastic!

[ramron333]

can anyone post them singing a song called the ups and downs?

[Pangael]

Ramon333

Yes, it's called 'Ups and Downs' and is on the Parcel of Rogues CD. I kinda wonder if it isn't a mis-hearing of Epson Downs - the race track in Ireland.

[Paulustrious]

Sorry to correct you, but it is in Epsom, Surrey, England.

[lichtbroeder]

Eureka! You can also use the tune to this great folk song to sing the words to Supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­ious. Really. I just tried it.

Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad - me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad - but then one day I learned a word that saved me aching nose - the biggest word I ever heard and this is how it goes: etc.

[lorgain2]

autobren, and aren`t they good.

[autobren]

yep they are.

[regardez403]

Great band STILL....they don't tour the US anymore but they're still rocking the festivals in the UK. Stole the show at Cropredy 2006.

[Georgia275]

atfatw - what a load of racist twallop you post...

[atfatw]

Georgia2,  Ha ha ha ha you certainly are an amusing, silly, clown like person, kind of like maddy prior is now poor little git

[diddydiddycool]

atfatw..... I doubt Maddie is poor! She packed the house on Thursday and she still has the voice!

[RowanDaveis]

I think using the word dreadfully is less cool than liking this, but i dig it too.

And i'm cool.

[GJR1975]

This is dreadfully uncool..... but I bloody love it!!!!

[chuckler1]

You should hear Maddy sing this on "Parcel of Rogues"

[Solarshoji]

This is the band that opened for Jethro Tull in San Diego in 1973 and I was blown away. Put me back in touch with my UK roots.

[hersheybar1966]

Saw Steeleye Span play several times. Maddie has a voice that you will never forget... GREAT band in their time.

[dhesquire]

whoa whoa whoa (thats english for stop a horse) haha, but realy, theyre still a great band, even if half are dead and forgtten? their music will be around forever, theyl always be a great folk group

[lorgain2]

A great group and Maddy is magic, great song, English folk is brilliant and I am Irish.

[atfatw]

Maddy Prior and co must have been plastered wot a horrible mess! tyme for ye olde britishers to retire!

[autobren]

makes me proud to know their are some sane people left in the world.

[atfatw]

autobren, not many and almost none at all in england

[autobren]

I'm English and proud of my country and it's people. That doesn't mean I think I'm better than anyone else though, some people take things like that too literally.

But I know what you mean, if you judge it by youtube almost every country in the world would look pathetic really.

[stiegy97291]

very tinny sounding.....

[11io]

but it is live

thanks for sharing :D

[jammyhartley]

I agree with you "lahore55" they act like of wankers.

[AntinoosTheos]

What are you on about, you sad clowns? It's a perfectly good performance.

[davalos8000]

Well.. it WAS 1987 after all.. this is 21 years old. They even have the haircuts for it... Although Maddy has stayed the same, thankfully.

[ImAsMadAsHell]

HEY NONNIE-NONNIE

[Hotelechomike]

Bob Johnson was replaced as guitarist by Ken Nicol in 2002 due to bad health. Ken is a worthy replacement & has helped breath live back into the band - hes also great to talk to. Rick Kemp is back on base (every tour he claims it will be his last but.....). Have tickets for early May.....

[Jeherin]

What is the percussive instrument Maddy is playing near the end?

[debbyjc]

She's playing the spoons! Just two table/dessert spoons bol to bowl, held loosely one between thumb and first finger, other between first and second fingers!Try it

[louisasmiles]

lol.....maddy is playing a very simple set of .....spoons........all you need is.. two spoons....then off you go.....the irish play them very well too! lol

[lahore55]

there's having a larf onstage and then there's taking the piss. the 2 berks on guitar are sending up a Steeleye classic. if it's not ur thing sod off and back Kylie (in ur dreams)!!! who are those jerk offs anyway? the people in the audience have paid money to see u. so what is a night's work to u may be the fulfillment of a life time ambition for a Steeleye fan. hope those ***** aren't playing when i see u in april.

[louswire]

I used to 'torture' my roomates playing 'span wearing headphones, but turned up so loudly that it could be heard in the room anyway...

Never got the chance to see them...:(

[ne007ne]

anyone got there [let her go down] song please send to me

[Hotelechomike]

Peter sings Let her Go Down often during the Steeleye concerts. Its also on the 35th anniversary DVD.....

[jarnestrom]

Fucking great song but poor live sound. Saw them and recorded them at Loughboro festival '71 for swedish radio on a portable nagra as a teenager, but don't remember anything of that show itself. Could someone upload wee wee man, bold poacher, ups & down and twankydillo, please??

[redhedkat]

If you've never been to the Philly Folk Festival, its a bunch of outdoor venues that aren't really made for recording. Nice intimate setting. It is reminiscent of 60s festivals, a very cool gig if you can ever go to it. Bring a tent and a sleeping bag...

[rasthaisinha]

meu amor me diz o q vc fazriiiias

[amalshookup]

I would give my left one to be annoyed by steeleye span. Saw them 30 years ago and they haven't been back since...Please, please someone book them in the U.S. Please!

[adammannus]

Here Here!!!!

[slagmilkcard]

Steeleye Span annoyed me at a live performance xmas 2 years ago, announcing an anniversary tour , then proceeding not to play any of their known hits or familiar songs, in favour of old english xmas carols! Which was damn annoying!

[mousiez]

WHAT??!?!?!

AAAAUGH!

I would have given my eyeteeth to have been there for the carols,IT WAS CHRISTMAS!

YOU LUCK OUT, AND YOU DON'T EVEN ENJOY IT! OH UNWORTHY PERSON,YOU!

[Hotelechomike]

I (plus family) attended the Buxton concert just before Christmas 2006 and it was BRILLIANT. Got or photos taken with Ken & then with Maddy..... My wife even got the WINTER CD autographed by Rick.....

[Sydenham519]

Maddy's version of 'Three Ships' is awesome :)

[SJDinAudubon]

Great Song! Wonderful memories attached thereto... And Ain't they just havin' a ball performin' it? Thanks for posting this! And the earlier poster was right - that was when the PFF was a lot more fun... How did I miss 1987???

[SharonCobb]

This is great! Does anyone know what the former drummer, Nigel Pegrum, is doing now?

[highlandhillwalking]

Nigel Pegrum lives in Australia. I saw his name on CD's as producer of abo/folk/rock music - I like to think it was him on the rock drums. I was tempted but was short of cash. Try Google for more.

[smokindog]

Love this stuff!I had all the LP's up to about 1981.

[toftmf]

Another great video ! Great to see Peter Knight...he & Aly Bain are my two favorite fiddlers, not necessarily because of their skills but their looks.

[fiddleremma]

I really think that Peter Knight's cute and good looking. Other Steeleye men I find good looking are Rick Kemp and Tim Hart. Ooooooh.

[toftmf]

Have you seen the Feast of Fiddles video on youtube? A more contemporary view of P.K. than the '87 Philly FF.

[rthumanfly]

Nice version! They know how to play a room.

[cherton]

Im 33 and when i was a kid my father loved Steeleye Span, we would sing all of the songs in the car hehe

[Taylor510ceL9]

Yay Dad!

[wjwmorrow]

Wonderful -thanks for posting.

[louswire]

Christ! What fun we had then!

[airattackbomber]

They are great no matter what the quality. I love it.

[kayjay83]

they could slowed it down and not been in such a rush.

Sound is iffy

[Taylor510ceL9]

I can't do anything about how Steeleye Span performed the song. The video is almost 20 years old and you won't find it anywhere else, so if the sound is not perfect, I am sorry, but it is what it is.

[Matrite]

This is what I love about Steeleye...they do their thing in any given decade and still kick ass. There are lessons to be learned here, my friends...

[mealypeggy]

well, the Bass player in the clip is Mark Williamson, who is an old friend of Drummer Nigel Pegrums. Mark now lives in Nashville and Nigel now lives in Australia.

[medaka]

old steeleye! fabulous and thanks!!

[steiketa]

love this song. one of my steeleye favourites.

[drmlabs]

THANK YOU! Great clip of one of my favorite bands!

[Taylor510ceL9]

I have to confess that I don't know the bass player, and the program doesn't name the band members individually.

I want to upload anothe De Dannan clip, and then I will look for another Steeleye clip.

[raulbranco]

Well, on fiddle Peter Knight, guitar Bob Johnson, drums Nigel Pegrum, vocal Maddy Prior but who in Heaven's name is playing that Fender Jazz Bass?

[pedreau]

Chris Staines, who I know nothing about, is listed in their history as being their bassist in '87, never recorded with them. Rick Kemp couldn't play due to having a shoulder injury.

[johnnysaint]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Who's that on bass?

[chuckler1]

Excellent as Steeleye Span always are
