Mike Pinder, the last surviving original Moody Blues member, 82 A sad loss. I regret not seeing the Moodies classic line up live; although they made some good stuff after Mike left, nothing matched up to their "core 7" albums. |

Hope you enjoyed it. It was 70% sold last night just for the record. Cost of living and am ageing audience wil take its toll on audiences. The last tour in Dec 23 was pretty well supported though. Yes, very much enjoyed it. I've written a review for anyone interested - https://colinbertram.blogspot.com/2024/05/steeleye-span-gig-review-lancaster.html |

Hope
It's now exactly one month until their gig at the Lancaster Grand and I'm slightly alarmed to see that they've only sold about half the seats in the theatre. I've checked a few ticketing websites. See Tickets only lists their Falmouth date and Ents24 lists it and three other dates, including Carlisle which is sold out, but not Lancaster. One or two other sites don't list any Steeleye Span gigs at all. I didn't manage to get a ticket the last time they were here as it sold out well in advance. I hope sales pick up over the next few weeks. Tickets are £30 including fees. https://lancastergrand.co.uk/shows/steeleye-span/ Hope you enjoyed it. It was 70% sold last night just for the record.

Johnny Echols/Love playing Forever Changes Hare And Hounds Birmingham July 11 Band On The Wall Manchester July 12 Boileroom Guildford July 15 1865 Southampton July 17 Concorde 2 Brighton July 18 Shepherds Bush Empire July 20 Gosforth Civic Newcastle Upon Tyne July 24 Caves Edinburgh July 25 Saint Luke's Glasgow July 26 Brudenell Social Leeds July 29 Fleece Bristol August 01 Earl Hague Memorial Cardiff August 02 Rescue Room Nottingham August 03 I think I'm right in saying they're only playing FC in full at a couple of shows, and the rest of them talk of selections from the first 4 albums? Possibly right. I had to patch all the dates together from various notifications by different promoters/ ticket agencies. I'd be happy with stuff from Da Capo - She Comes In Colours and 7 and 7 Is as obvious examples. I've only seen the Bangles do the latter. |

They ended with their version of Quo's cover of All Around My Hat. Lol. And that really did... I used to love Steeleye (and can still enjoy the first few albums) but I really don't like to listen to the vast proportion of their output anymore. They all sound like Quo trying to play something vaguely folky. |

Steeleye Span at the Lancaster Grand last night. Not a full house but that's maybe because they have done more dates in the NW of England than most bands do - they were at Carlisle (Spud Sinclair's hometown) and Burnley before coming here. They played quite a few selections from their Green Man Collection and I particularly enjoyed hearing January Man and two Rick Kemp songs which were new to me, namely Low Flying and Genocide.
Their latest fiddle player Athena Octavia is the best violinist I've seen in quite a while and newish bass player Roger Carey does a fine job in the rhythm section alongside Liam. They ended with their version of Quo's cover of All Around My Hat. The Grand is a lovely old theatre similar to the Victoria Hall in Settle. Shame we don't get more bands (other than tribute acts) playing there. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/steeleye-span/2024/lancaster-grand-theatre-lancaster-england-43a98b4f.html They finished with an instrumental number after Hat which I think was Dodgy Bastards. |

Georgia Lucas has posted a rather lovely short video of Cropredy on youtube. Plenty of links to it on Facebook, too. I honestly misread that as 'George Lucas'  I wonder how many times that's happened to her over the years! |
