'All around my hat' as recorded by Steeleye Span was produced by Mike Batt. It has Mike's mid 70's fingerprints all over it. Shuffle boogie meets folk. Mike of course was responsible for writing for, arranging and creating the Wombles kids TV show linked pop group. Indeed Steeleye Span once filled in by miming as the Wombles on Top of the Pops. I did see film of naked male dancers armed only with hats to cover their modesty, performing a hat dance to Steeleye Span's recording of 'All around my hat'. Only thing was the timing of hat movement went out of sync leading - to unfortunate moments of exposure.
