30 Jul 13 - 01:51 PM (#3543637) Subject: Steeleye: no official stuff, why ?? From: Claire M Hiya, Was looking for merchandise for a rock-loving friend. He suggested looking for stuff for that "weird band you like" (who he doesn't). So Iooking on E Bay. I found [b]loads[/b] for him, but what came up for Steeleye ?? NOTHING. Nothing, apart from cds (which I already have) & mug which bidding has sadly ended on. No t-shirts, no books, no jewellery etc. I was an Iron Maiden FC member for years (still love them which is likely to cause problems should the 2 bands ever play on the same night, just couldn't justify cost for membership anymore) & they have/have had all that. I'm sure Steeleye had t-shirts at one point, but they seem to have died out. I regret not picking up one of those hoodies now, but I was so shaky I couldn't think straight. I've got a bag that someone who I consider to be an adoptive grandma made – it's blue w/ a leafy S in shining silver thread, & I love it to pieces. I'd love something to show my appreciation for the band, leading to me being renamed Spanner occasionally, & a lot of comments I don't want to write down (just banter) but SS don't even seem to have a proper logo – what I've seen looks too much like other stuff. Thinking about making something myself – any ideas ?? |

From: Will Fly Claire - there is an unofficial website run by a chap called Richard Hollis (you may be aware of it) - and he may be able to offer you some help in your search. It's at: Steeleye Span unofficial website |

I've been meaning to put it on eBay as I was never able to wear it (too small, wouldn't you know). I also have an iron-on patch that is really cool It features the Fox from the song (and album cover) of the same name from the album "Tempted and Tried." |

I'd love to find a patch. The fox drawing in said fanzine is stunning – i'm thinking of getting it framed (but I'll get it photocopied 1st – I'm not spoiling my magazine! If you can remember, how was the gig?? I wonder whether she was referring to herself in that song too! |
