I too used to follow Steeleye Span avidly. Their early stuff (pre-"Hat") is unreservedly brilliant, even Storm Force Ten, joined by Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick recovered some of the early magic with adventurous material like "Black Freighter".
They also had an unusually generous attitude to "support" acts, giving Horslips, Planxty and Gryphon successively the opportunity to blow Steeleye off the stage.
Hoping to get some live music in on Friday (Preston, Sean?) but I'll set the machine.
