Description
Folk rock pioneers. Pop stars and an inspiration to generations. Steeleye Span has been many things. With Maddy Prior, the voice of Steeleye for 40 years at the helm of the line-up which features band stalwart and fiddler extraordinary Peter Knight, Rick Kemp on bass, Peter Zorn and Julian Littman on Guitars and Liam Genockey on the drum stool.

Steeleye have found inspiration in the work of famous British author, Terry Pratchett. With collaboration on a brand new project based on Pratchett's 'Wintersmith' novel about a tale of ancient rituals and secret folk dances. With special guests Terry Pratchett, Kathryn Tickell and John Spiers.

Description
Steeleye Span are re-releasing Wintersmith as a Deluxe 2 CD package complete with four brand new songs, 8 live tracks and 2 demos!

Wintersmith saw Steeleye Span collaborate with Sir Terry Pratchett on a brand new project, a record based on Pratchett's Wintersmith novel. The subject matter completely appropriate for Steeleye, a tale of ancient rituals and secret folk dances that perfectly complements their previous work whilst taking it in new directions.

Such a record needed a special touch to do it justice and the band found just this in the guise of Chris Tsangarides, A producer with a CV that includes the likes of Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Gary Moore as well as Tom Jones, New Model Army and Depeche Mode, Chris has brought his special talents to mixing the album - harking back to their classic sound and picking up where recent releases They Called Her Babylon and Bloody Men left off.

With special guest appearances from Northumbrian piper Kathryn Tickell, Bellowhead's John Spiers and Pratchett himself providing spoken word Wintersmith - their fifth long player in less than a decade - is an album to delight long term fans and reinforce Steeleye Span's status as legends of British music.
