Steeleye Span
Steeleye Span are playing the Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury in early April. Normally I haven't got much time for folk-rock revivalism, but the current lineup involves Maddy Prior, Rick Kemp and Peter Knight, and recent video clips I've been checking out suggest they're sounding as good as ever (and really enjoying themselves too).
