I first heard them on a Friday night in the early 70s on a public radio station. I thought at the time that they were calling them 'Steel Ice Pan.' They did an hour of their songs and it sounded so different from anything I'd listened in recent memory. The only one they played that night I can remember was Alison Gross. But I've loved Steeleye Span ever since then, and this song has always been my favorite of theirs.

Cheesy the effects in this video may be, but they have their own whimsical charm. :) PS- and the song is great. I haven't listened to much Steeleye Span, but as a longtime, diehard, froth-at-the-mouth Tull fan, I am not surprised that it resonates with me. I will have to listen to more, and perhaps buy an album eventually...

Anyone of say age 47/older in Granadaland remember the cover of this track used as the theme for Granada Reports? A fantastic synth version which adorned the show from the late 70's to early 80's in the eaa of Tony Wilson, Bob Greaves, Gordon Burns etc. Done by the great Francis Monkman who did loads of Granada theme tunes, would love to hear it again.
