Together for 56 years, Steeleye Span changed the face of folk music forever, introducing it to the world of gold discs and international tours.

Now they return with Conflict, their first full studio album in over five years. All traditional singers have sung modern and self-composed pieces alongside old songs, and Conflict is an album that follows in that very tradition. The album’s title was chosen as much to reflect the times in which we find ourselves, but also the stretch and tear of our relationship with this planet that hosts us.

As ever – and with such a rich history to choose from – the night will offer a selection of songs from across the years and firm fan favourites.
