FOLK rock pioneers Steeleye Span have been many things since they arrived on the music scene in the late sixties.
A remarkable career has seen them introduce folk rock to Top of the Pops with catchy hit All Around My Hat and then set the charts aflame with the 1970s single Gaudete.
They were, arguably, one of the first groups to drag folk music into the electronic age.
With Maddy Prior, the voice of Steeleye for 38 years, at the helm, the line-up features band stalwart and fiddler extraordinaire Peter Knight, Rick Kemp on bass, Peter Zorn and Julian Littman on guitars and Liam Genockey on the drum stool.
This show will see them visit the classics that have made them one of the most successful British folk rock bands ever.
After two successful tours in 2011 and a few festivals in 2012 Steeleye are sticking as a six piece for their 2013 tour. The band reaches the Lighthouse Poole on March 14.
