Are these folks real? What a wonderful bit of musical poetry

[@colinbryant5598]

They are real, wonderfully real.

[@hunnybee971]

Wow I just love how those drums pull you into the music, and the violins tie you all up.

[@joannagodfrey5111]

A truly beautiful violin part, really evocative

brilliant song, superb fiddle playing by Violeta Vicci

has she replace Jessie May? and who is the lead singer with Maddie on this?

[@paulbaxter7985]

@@joannagodfrey5111 Jessie May Smart has been on maternity leave from the band for the last twelve months, the other lead singer is Andrew `Spud` Sinclair he has been with Steeleye for about four years now

The violinist is Jessie May Smart

[@desallen2174]

Thank you Brian, slap on the wrist for me. Believe Violeta Vicci first came into the band to cover Jesse May's maternity leave.

I've been a Steeleye Span fan for decades. Their music is always magical. I'd love to purchase the 50th anniversary set but we don't have CD players anymore - keep hoping I can buy it in a digital format.

Love this!!! Didn’t know until stumbling upon this that there is a 50th reunion tour! Was just exploring “gaudete” and “all around my hat”. This is awesome!!! Maddy prior’s vocals has recently inspired me as a volcanic snd performer as well. Wishing you all and awesome tour! And many thanks for this posting!!!!

Volcanic = vocalist (sorry typo)

You must be joking, just as Sheila is Aussie slang for a woman, so Bruce is slang for a bloke. You can't be an Aussie.

A positive comment at last. Jesse May Smart is a worthy successor to Peter Knight. Huge shoes to fill. I think she does.

[@brianparker663]

It's Violeta Vicci on this recording. Magnificent player.

[@Ezra.emerson]

Sorry Maddy. My infatuation with you had now extended to the fiddler. Sigh

[@StatusQuonald]

This man has a pleasant voice, more than the original singer.

[@JCtechwizard]

I thought Bob Johnson had a great voice

[@markdanielrogers]

@@JCtechwizard Totally agree, Bob's had far more character.

Going to listen to Lark in the Morning. The real Maddy and Steeleye.

A steeleye cover band with special guest Maddy Prior.....

[@colinbryant5598]

A tad harsh but I know where you are coming from.

[@desallen2174]

Sad, sad video. A disinterested Maddy Prior. Love the original Steeleye. Latest edition a poor facsimile.

[@glynluff2595]

Well we all can have a view. I would suggest that with the gaining of years our values can change slightly and we do things in differing ways for many reasons. Musical interpretation can change a little and be as valid.

[@bobdaniels8760]

A poor facsimile … no not in the least, an evolution without a doubt, Spud Sinclair adds a nice edge to the sound and while this isn’t Jessie May Smart, Jessie adds a whole new exhuberance to the band Maddy , if you have seen any other videos is her old self intermingled woth a more staid persona as her age would dictate, Steeleye are still brilliant don’t worry! Listen to Dodgy Bastards or Est 1969, the production on both is brilliant and bastards is definately in my top 5 albums ever! (Btw I’m 64 have been an avid collector and listener of music since I was 12 and seen all off the heat 70’s and 80’s bands live on several occaisoonsso there’s a fair bit of listening in my past to compare them to as well)

[@MrStupidHead]

If you want vintage Steeleye Span, you'll need to find Ponce DeLeon. Otherwise, here is the next best thing.
