Thread Name: Review: Steeleye Span-40th anniversary tour
Subject: RE: Steeeye Span
First, let me say that I am a fan of Steeleye, have been for over 35 years, and saw them at the Tewkesbury gig several days ago..... epic, very good concert ... one niggle though... I know that every member of a band has to 'let it rip' to show their expertise/skill and take it it turns to do so... but why Peter (brilliant violinist that you are) did you have to do it halfway through Maddy's rendition of the Selkie of Sule Skerry??? If I were Maddy I would have kicked him. Peter can makes flames spring from that fiddle ... but the 'variations on a Selkie' theme didn't do it for me... sorry.

I'll get my coat
