You got an encore?! We got, "That was the last song. The 'shop' is open", and Ashley moved to the table next to him where they had the CDs and LPs on sale. I'd have loved to hear 'Bird On A Wire'.

Ashley Hutchings and Blair Dunlop last night at the Plough, Great Torrington. First night of their tour of the Southwest, and we got a mix of songs and stories. Ashley hardly played his bass - probably only on 3 or 4 songs - but we got songs going back to Lay Down Your Weary Tune up to some from Blair's new album. We heard a bit about how the connection with Bob Dylan was made recently (via Nigel Schofield, apparently). It was a bit chaotic - I'm not sure how much they'd really planned out what they were going to do - and I was a bit concerned when the first half only lasted about 30 minutes, but we did get a full hour or a bit more after the break. Saw them last night at The Acapela, Pentyrch (near Cardiff). Ashley played bass on 5 songs, one of them being the encore (Leonard Cohen's 'Bird on a Wire'. It was a lovely, intimate concert - maybe a bit too intimate, as the hall was only half full. The Acapela isn't a big venue by any stretch, so it was a real shame that so few people were there. But, I loved it. |

The internet tells me Steeleye played twice in Austin, in their whole career. In 1973 they played at the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters, and in 1997 they played the humble Cactus Cafe (capacity about 150). I can't imagine there's any way to get them back here, but it would be nice to at least have them cross the pond for an east coast tour...

Saw him supporting CSNY at Wembly back in the day. Really enjoyed his set. And to think that I always had you pegged as a young(er) man.  Jules |

Yes indeed, plenty going on for Steeleye at the moment.
They have an upcoming tour in April/May at which it's expected the new album 'Conflict' will be ready to sell at the merch table before a proper release/launch later in the year. They are then touring again in November/December for a bigger, longer tour to "launch'" the new album properly. This tour will also mark the 50th anniversary since 'All Around My Hat' single/album so I wonder if they will mark that in some way The new album is the first full studio album in 6 years. By all accounts it's continuing the same, quite rocky style of the last couple of albums, but will feature more original songs alongside some trad Arr of course. and yes, the above website is the best place for all the latest news for Steeleye   |

Thea Gilmore, last night, at The Acapela, Pentyrch. She was on good form and gave us a varied selection of songs from way back, as well a a few from her latest covers album (These Quiet Friends). Her support act was called Dave, but don't ask me to tell you his full name, as he wasn't introduced. Nor did he say,' Hi I'm Dave (insert surname here) ....' Dave was actually Philippe Nash https://www.facebook.com/philippenashmusicI'm sure Thea said, 'Wasn't Dave good?' Anyway, you live and learn |

On some levels that's obviously correct, but the band have been reformed for a very long time and played an awful lot of gigs since then. A band has been playing an awful lot of gigs. Jules |
