Steeleye Span have announced that they will celebrate their first three albums on their upcoming UK tour in May, 2022. At the same time the band will release a special live concert recording of their 1970 debut album “Hark The Village Wait,” which will be available digitally on May 2, 2022.
Steeleye Span were formed in 1969 by former Fairport Convention bassist Ashley Hutchings, singer Maddy Prior, guitarist Tim Hart and Terry and Gay Woods. After “Hark The Village Wait” the band released both “Please To See The King,” by which time folk legend Martin Carthy had joined the band, and “Ten Man Mop, or Mr. Reservoir Butler Rides Again” in 1971.
Steeleye Span will celebrate fifty years of these famous albums, playing key tracks from all three, as well as favourites and gems from their long and glittering career.
