New violinist announced Athena Octavia.

"Athena loves incorporating her passion for many different genres of music into her performances, and with her highly trained ear is able to improvise in many styles from RnB, pop and jazz to EDM and even dubstep. "  This could be interesting!  She'll also lower the average age by about 10 years just by turning up...  and possibly cause a heart attack or two amongst some of the audience.

What happened to the last new violinist?

Well, there have been two (Jessie Mae Smart and Violeta Vicci) doing a 'job-share' the last few years, both with young families, I think.  So maybe neither could make this tour?

The cynic in me says that she's probably cheaper.

New Steeleye song released:

The Green Man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdQ1B64sCX0

Written by Bob Johnson back in 1985 and dusted down & recorded by the current line-up for a forthcoming compilation of the same name. Other new songs for the compilation include a version of Elvis Costello's Shipbuilding and something called Hey Nonny Violence.

Didn't think I needed another Steeleye comp but I think they've hooked me for this one.
