Steeleye Span are a British folk rock band formed in 1969 by former Fairport Convention bassist Ashley Hutchings together with London folk‑club performers Tim Hart and Maddy Prior. The group became a key part of the 1970s British folk revival and achieved significant commercial success during that decade, earning four Top 40 albums and two hit singles: “Gaudete” and “All Around My Hat.” Over the years, Steeleye Span have undergone numerous lineup changes, with Maddy Prior remaining the only founding member still active in the band. Their repertoire is rooted primarily in traditional material, often drawing on Child Ballads, and typically includes one or two instrumental tracks featuring jigs or reels. In later releases, the band increasingly incorporated original compositions, though they have consistently maintained a strong connection to traditional music drawn from across the British Isles.
