Steeleye: no official stuff, why ??

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 ??

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:

I have a black Maddy Prior t-shirt I purchased at one of her solo gigs back in the early '90s. 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."

Hiya,

I already know of it & contribute, that's where I found out about the Song & The Storyfanzine. 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!
