[@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. 😊

[@deniselefeuvre1956]

2024 anyone?

[@haeleth7218]

Yep! And forever too. 🙂

[@frankmoller6127]

Yeah and I still like it !

[@alfiekelly5914]

And I'm not ashamed to say that I still fancy Maddy!

[@chrisscholes]

Think I've got green willow round my hat 😢

[@diannemorgan-smith2245]

Proud to belong to her generation. 72 yrs xxxxx

[@markwinters1216]

She's still got it. What a performance.

[@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.

[@namcat53]

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

[@clivebrookes9808]

Maddy your still amazing my darlin

[@jonpayne4931]

Morris dancers AND a fiddle player! Excellent!!

[@dupont135]

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

[@marcmacario-yt3td]

Maddy...eternally ❤❤❤

[@johncongerton7046]

Glorious

[@SuperDiddzz]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@nigel4425]

Got to love Maddy!

[@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

[@benfleck576]

That drummer is superb

[@chrismassey1960]

Yes Ben u know

[@jlucgasser]

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

[@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!

[@radishpea6615]

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

[@runswithwindz9875]

Maddy is FANTASTIC 🥳

[@tindrum]

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

[@robinholmescnx]

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

@@jimmymalone9139 No are you a leftist?

[@donnagray9579]

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

[@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!” 😊

[@antoniocamilo8922]

Fantastic violin.

[@jamesstewart3317]

A joyous yuletide memory x

[@ronniehaywood2725]

She's great, and thoroughly enjoying herself.

[@paulhutton6246]

Absolutely fantastic. Supberb.

[@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.

[@robcol800]

The best "none" Christmas song... Ever! 🎄🎅❄️⛄

[@sideshowbob5237]

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

[@cameroncameron2826]

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

[@davidcole9971]

A voice full of character, the very wonderful Maddy Prior

[@seannos2939]

Her voice hasn’t aged at all, still beautiful

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Err… we’re you watching the same video as me?! Of course her voice has changed! It is still a good voice, but, it’s not the same as it was in 1973!

[@michaelbailey9367]

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

[@asredbirdy]

I used to love this.

[@philtorpey]

The violin player hasn’t aged at all.

Just changed sex...

[@spencerhardy8667]

Looks like Rosie Langley, who also plays with Jeff Lynne.

[@carolramsey8457]

I saw them at a folk festival near Chelmsford around 1970. Maddie put her can of beer down on the stage when she began a song and my friend Kevin drank it. When she finished the song she picked up the empty can "WHO'S DRUNK MY FUCKING BEER!' Oh dear, Kevin sheepishly admitted it.

[@EllenBrighton]

Found you by pure mistake. So many memories. Keep on and stay safe.

Bellissima signora, bellissima voce

I think it's great that Maddy and Annie Haslam from Renaissance are still performing. Alas, Sandy Denny passed away far too young.

[@jesussaves5354]

I saw Annie/Renaissance about a year ago in Ithaca, NY. Great concert. Loved them since the Carnegie Hall live album in mid70's.

[@stevesmith7997]

Happy Birthday Maddy ! you made THE TIMES birthday list! xxx ! 14/08/2021

[@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.

[@gemini2261]

Bless Maddy Prior ❤️

[@louisegormley7461]

This song fills my heart with joy and happiness, I LOVE IT!!!

[@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!!

[@user-yiannisKaravitis]

THANKS! KEEP GOING ON, LOVE FROM GREECE!

[@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.

[@iainchristie9587]

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 !!

[@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.

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

The violinist's parents probably weren't born when this was a hit.

[@jamey55lee]

I think they sound better than ever and the young violinist looks wonderful.

A bit like Fairport in 1979 at Cropredy when we watched the 'Farewell, Farewell' gig...

Never ages , just terrific

Wow love it really lifted my spirits

[@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.

[@TRUCKAD38]

heard this songs 40 plus years ago and still love it xxx
