For any artist to discover new inspiration after many years is a huge challenge yet this is just what Steeleye Span achieved with Wintersmith, the 22nd studio album in a remarkable career. Born from their friendship with author Terry Pratchett, their musical interpretation of his novel provided them with a gateway to a magical world, allowing the band to explore familiar themes in the company of a new set of characters - all of whom allow Steeleye to delve into the darker side of their music.
Received warmly by both critics and audience - Wintersmith saw Steeleye return to the UK album charts - the resulting concert tour was a celebration of both the past and the present. With violinist Peter Knight making his farewell, these live shows marked a major chapter in the band’s history. Filmed in Salisbury, the Wintersmith DVD captures all the magic - especially fitting as Pratchett was in the audience and joined them on stage. This is the perfect record of a special meeting of minds.
Join us on.

I've just read Terry Pratchett's biography by his personal assistant, Rob Wilkins, in it, Wilkins says that in Sir Terry's last days Maddy visited him and sang 'Thomas the Rhymer' for him. What a wonderful thing to do.

@BiffChunksteak Жыл бұрын
You do realise that the only ones screaming this are you and the 2 other people trying to shoehorn their political views into this? Blackface is about white people using make up in an effort to imitate Africans' racial stereotypes. Where in this video do you see that happening? I don't see it either because as you can deduce from the song's lyrics and explanation, aka 'context', that is not why anyone in this video is using make up. At all. So why bring it up?

@@Qkano Actually, historically there have been female morris dancers - especially in the NW. But some of the morris revival organisations either didn't know this or chose to ignore it and until recently had a men only policy. And, as of 2024 there are more 'morris women' than 'morris men' (a modern term by the way).

@@Qkano Of course it is rare prior to the 19th century but Will Kemp whilst morris dancing from London to Norwich in 1600 was asked by a young maid if she could dance with him - wanting to 'have the olde fashion, with napkins on her arms' (rather than new fangled handkerchiefs). And there are possible sightings in the 1600's.
