... Strange news is a-come to town,
strange news is carried;
strange news flies up-and-down,
that my love is married.
Oh wish them both much joy;
though they don't hear me,
and if I were with my love I'd do my duty.
Coming to a #DungeonsAndDragons campaign near you soon - frustrated cucking.

New #review today: "Toronto musician Pete Johnston is primarily known as a bassist with a long running group called See Through (in Trio and Quartet variations). In #StrangerStill, he takes up the guitar. While there is a folk-oriented base to many of the tunes which can be likened to #SteeleyeSpan, #MellowCandle, and others, the music has an angular rhythmic quality showing influences from 20th Century #ChamberMusic." #ExposeOnline #AcidFolk http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/stranger-still-the-songs-which-are-2.html

#SteeleyeSpan are a British folk rock band formed in 1969 in England by #FairportConvention bass player #AshleyHutchings and established London folk club duo #TimHart and #MaddyPrior. The band were part of the 1970s British folk revival, and were commercially successful in that period, with four Top 40 albums and two hit singles: "Gaudete" and "All Around My Hat".

Second #BritishFolkRevival included #BritishFolkRock
British folk rock developed in Britain during the mid- to late 1960s by the bands #FairportConvention and #Pentangle, #FiveHandReel, #SteeleyeSpan and the #AlbionBand, which built on elements of #AmericanFolkRock.
Tell me if you hear the variation on a computer game theme in the intro to this #FairportConvention song "If I Had a Ribbon Bow"β¦

If you're a Steeleye Span fan you might like a look at this ancient video of them on ATVs The Music Room. Broadcast in 1970.
A little upscaling job I was asked to do from an old VHS tape copy.

Thx for mention of this album in yesterday's thread. I've found Hark! The Village Wait on a music subscription service and am now delighting in it.
LOL: Elsewhere in cache of cassettes I mentioned is one recorded by a friend, which includes this album. I've hitherto only known it as "Liam II" :D

Quite a lot of traditional wassailing going on at present in the #Hastings area, hoping to ensure a good #`apple crop this year.
So here's a #wassail song. #Welsh in origin, though #Sussex girl Shirley Collins did a splendid version in 1969, this has always been a favourite of mine from Steeleye Span's 1971 album Ten Man Mop.
(The original album was gatefold, and included photos inside of the band around Hastings Old Town).
