The Journey
![]() |
The Journey Park Records PRK CD52 (2 CD, UK, November 1999) |
This is a live recording of most of a benefit concert for a charity called War Child to help kids in war zones. It took place on 2 September 1995 at The Forum, London. and was organised by Dave Hill, a long-standing Steeleye Span fan. He managed to convince nearly everybody of the Steeleye Span members from the first 25 five years of their history to play at this concert.
Now, four year later, we finally have the chance to hear this breathtaking recording. I'm sure that everybody who hears it will fervently wish to have been there!
Musicians
Steeleye Span Mk 1
Gay Woods, Maddy Prior, Tim Hart, Ashley Hutchings, Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick (both to play Terry Wood's part, the only Steeleye member not present), Michael Gregory (drums, to replace Mk 1 studio drummers Gerry Conway and Dave Mattacks)
They played virtually all of Hark! The Village Wait and was the first time this band ever played live together. As Maddy put it, it was their Debut performance after 25 years!

They represented Please To See The King and Ten Man Mop and played tracks from those albums.

The classic line-up with titles from Below the Salt up to All Around My Hat.

Encores
Finally they ALL came on stage to sing Rave On and Gaudete!
