Subject: RE: Good luck to The Albion Band
By my account it went very well but then I might be accused of bias. However, you couldn't level the accusation, made of Steeleye Span on their debut, that they were uncomfortable with their electric instruments. You couldn't say that like some incarnations of Fairport, they relied on a single vocalist, they had good vocalists in spades. They paid respect to tradition and to their elders in the Albion hegemony. They also write some very good stuff themselves. They worked bloody hard over the last six months to create an authentically Albion sound whilst uncompromisingly remaining themselves. But if you don't believe me, ask Ashley!
