abstract:Steeleye Span are an English folk-rock band formed in 1969. Still active today, along with Fairport Convention, they are amongst the best known acts of the British folk revival, and were among the most commercially successful, thanks to their hit singles "Gaudete" and "All Around My Hat".
If the name sounds vaguely familiar to Anglophiles, think back to Fairport contemporary SteeleyeSpan: Kemp is the 22-year-old daughter of two of that band's stalwart members, Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp.
