Steeleye Span have announced a run of live dates for April and May, as well as offering an update on their latest studio album.
Founding member and singer Maddy Prior heads a line-up that includes Liam Genockey (drums), Julian Littman (guitar and keyboards), Roger Carey (bass), Andrew “Spud” Sinclair (guitar) and latest addition, violinist Athena Octavia (who also plays in indie folk act Iris & Steel) for an 18-date run around England, kicking off at Alnwick Playhouse on April 25 and running through to Dorchester's Hardye Theatre on May 17.
The band's new studio album, titled Conflict, is currently at the mixing and mastering stage. Said to encompass the rockier side of the band Conflict is slated for a general release later this year, in time for the band's traditional November and December run of live dates, although there remains a chance that, if completed, it may make the merch stand on the Spring run of dates,
