[@unwoke1652]

So glad I'm a Boomer. We lived to the best times mankind had ever heard!

[@Nofanboyz]

Ditto. I feel so sorry for 80's kids that thought their times were best. Maddy Prior, Judith Durham, Sally Carr..... that's the music I cut my teeth on. Great to be a child of the sixties. 😊

[@johnsabini2330]

Totally agree 👍 we lived in a true Great Britain at its best.

[@diannemorgan-smith2245]

Proud to belong to her generation. 72 yrs xxxxx

[@clinpsydoc]

68 here. We love that generation's music!

[@victoriakendrick6906]

O.k I'm Scottish and love my folk music. To me this song is so quintessentially English in the best possible way. I loved this back in the 1970s and love it now 2022.

[@paulcronin3626]

It's an Irish folk song, try to keep up.

[@markwinters1216]

She's still got it. What a performance.

[@namcat53]

Oh Maddy..you're making me cry and laugh at the same time again....I love you....a fan since 1972.

[@dupont135]

Not many left anymore, but the Drummer and Maddy. Music lives, that's important.

[@cjsb22lr]

And Ric Kemp!!

[@jonpayne4931]

Morris dancers AND a fiddle player! Excellent!!

[@williamgrant215]

She's still got that twinkle in her eye, gives the impression she's up to something, love this song always lifts my mood

[@SuperDiddzz]

Maddy is priceless !! Her voice is unique and beautiful. No more words at all.

[@clivebrookes9808]

Maddy your still amazing my darlin

[@jlucgasser]

So 'far far away'; but still so present when hearing it again again and again..

[@nacholibre1962]

Great effort by Maddy here. She's pushing 70 at the time and has such a wonderful way about her. Still clearly really enjoying performing this jaunty song with all of the original sassiness. I've loved this song since the 70's and she does it proud.

[@teddownum7428]

Absolutely. She sounds as fantastic as ever!

[@primus7776]

Very fair comment! Watching the 70's original one can reasonably conclude that Maddie was/is one fantastically sexy Lady. (I think it's the repeated "Young Man" references?)

[@humanbean1964]

I wonder if today’s talentless crop of female ‘singers’ will still sound as good as this when they are knocking 70? I doubt it!

[@nigeljames6017]

Albert Head I saw Steeleye Span perform in a large pub courtyard in the mid 75’s. It was quite hilarious, as the evening progressed everyone (band and audience) got more and more drunk. Poor old Maddy, she could barely stand upright by the end of the evening. Ah, the good old days !

[@craigmcintosh7241]

@@nigeljames6017 Saw them live in War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, NY in summer 1970, fell in love with them!

[@radishpea6615]

my goodness you would never know how old she is by just listening, brilliant.

[@tindrum]

Arent they lovely!? Maddy Smiling just loving it all.

[@claudiocisternas2920]

I don't speak English, I'm 40+ y/o, from another continent, and I can't stop listening to this song and others from Steeleye Span. I know why: Maddy visited me once in the shape of a hare and put a spell on me. That's why!

[@anthonydevitt3206]

Haha 🤣

[@timwhite5647]

She turned me into a newt, but I got better.

[@gordonhall214]

I want whatever you’re smoking

[@Bulletguy07]

Blimey....i remember when this hit the charts at Christmas 1975 and was played endlessly all over the festive period. I bought the album! Maddys vocals still in fine fettle and the fiddler girl rocks it!

[@artosuokas7348]

I was there. Oh joy!

[@nectafarious8842]

You can see me and the missus on the front rail ☺

[@HowardARoark]

Legend performance, legend song!

[@marcmacario-yt3td]

Maddy...eternally ❤❤❤

[@donnagray9579]

Oh my god, still so good! I feel 40yrs younger.

[@kololikate]

Several years ago I was spending the winter in The Gambia and had no music to listen to. I regularly visited a small hotel to swim and one of the waiters had downloaded some music from KZbin. I was surprised to hear this and every time I went to swim they'd play this for me. Brilliant.

[@cameroncameron2826]

I'll always be grateful to anyone whose been a musician in steeleye span.

[@benfleck576]

That drummer is superb

[@chrismassey1960]

Yes Ben u know

There's no song that makes me feel so good as this. I just love Maddie's voice and the band. Brilliant!

[@nigel4425]

Got to love Maddy!

[@ianchapple4642]

Remember this so well

[@rocketman57]

Loved it when it first came out in 73 (?) and although I was a Purple/Yes/Heep/Floyd (and several more!) fan you couldn't help but like the rhythmic beat and Maddy's distinctive and utterly wonderful voice!! Brilliant and that's why it's perennially popular!

[@rocketman57]

I was in the same boat! Didn't dare admit I loved it!

[@kevinflett5381]

Same same

[@suebursztynski2530]

I went to hear them in concert in Melbourne. Someone in the audience called out, “You’re a bonzer Sheila, Maddy Prior!” 😊

[@HW100]

I played this a lot on my little box record player through that hot 76 summer, very happy times in a very different world.

[@oisterwijkmdekort]

Still a great song love it . And what a beautiful violiniste

[@markwinters1216]

She's great, and thoroughly enjoying herself.

[@sideshowbob5237]

Steeleye Span: stick together, stick to what you're good at, make everyone happy, make yourselves happy.

[@davidcole9971]

A voice full of character, the very wonderful Maddy Prior

[@corlangedijk2392]

De vreugde en plezier spat er nog steeds vanaf ook na 50 jaar

[@darrenwells2277]

My Dad used to play this song a lot when I was little and I'd not heard it in years. Brought back many memories.

[@stargate1555]

I saw Steeleye Span sing this song as the backup band for Jethro Tull during Ian's Aqualung tour 1970. She's still got it going on.

[@ronniehaywood2725]

Bloody fantastic.

[@michaelbailey9367]

Maddy looks brilliant. Great voice and just how I expected her to be after original video.

[@lynnflores1897]

I loved that since I was younger and heard it at my sister in laws house that Irish song always make you want to get up and dance; it just makes you feel happy listening to it.

[@jackarcher7495]

It's an English folk song. But that's O.K. All that matters is that you love it. As do I.

[@mcfcguvnors]

ahhhh proper music no auto tune ...BLISS :)

[@raymonddickson8937]

Jigged in the Usher Hall in the isles Edinburgh 70s great times .

[@chrismassey1960]

I remember playing this on Caroline 558 I then went onto TKO my radio station and one of my presenters played it as we never used play list. I was only 18 and loved this magical folk song. 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

music like this will never die

[@donhughes8465]

Fifty years they've been going. Awesome. Still got it.

[@jamesstewart3317]

A joyous yuletide memory x

[@silverarrowslk]

The song tells of Yae Merry Olde England - brilliant folk song

[@famat161]

I heard the second half of this song in the early 70s. I loved it beyond all else but I did not know the name of the band. For decades I knew there was a song out there that I loved beyond all else but that might never be heard again. At some point 6/7 years ago, I figured it out. And now with such great audio quality, it is totally sublime.

[@LadySophieofHougunManor7325]

Maddy you sound awesome as always

[@paulhutton6246]

Absolutely fantastic. Supberb.

That's because she is!

[@marionward5958]

Absolutely fantastic I remember when I first heard this whole living in Australia. The whole family was very sick. Me, hubby and 3 kids. But I was at worse. After the doc left hubby drove to get medicine and came back with the record forecast well. Brilliant then, brilliant now. And I still got the vinyl!!

[@johncongerton7046]

Glorious

Brilliant..........Maddy still brilliant.........to the 64 thumbs down people you have no soul.......hope you find it soon..........

Caught them at Skeggy Great Brit Folk Festthe one before the first lockdown. I was expecting too much "Hey Nonny no", but what IO saw was a great Folk rock band. Absolutely superb !!

[@anthonywhitmarsh3032]

Makes me wish I had taken an interest in folk music when I lived in England, I'd have LOVED to see this live!

[@davidthelefty]

So good to hear this. I was playing at a festival years ago and was lucky to hear them, it was very emotional for me after hearing them since the 70s. It was an extra thrill when I saw the drummer (maybe there were more Span members as well) watch us play one of our sets at the festival. A definite highlight for me.

[@tonypuddu4973]

Bellissima signora, bellissima voce

[@paolo282]

Thanks for the emotions

[@aaronstead3198]

I used to wonder why i love this song so much, it turned out that in the 70's my parents took me and my brother to see them live. I generally dont like folk music but could play this none stop.

[@daf827]

Delightful performance. Fab festival. The young folks don’t know what they’re missing.

Love the Morris dancers on speed.

[@brok328]

Loved them when I first heard back in the early/mid seventies and still do. Love rock, and many other genres, but this is the roots. A friend of mine watched them in Edinburgh supporting Jethro Tull , mid 70's. He says its the only supporting act he ever seen that was allowed to do an encore.

[@colinallen5824]

Absolutely the same for me! Brilliant band and l've loved them from the start. Maddie is a national treasure!!
