Many fine acts and Steeleye Span.

Not sure about Steeleye ...

I am not sure whether I can face that much 70ies Folk revival ...

But ... lunasa, 422, woodpecker band,les barker, luke dniels, speirs and boden, pete cooper and some others are well worth seeing ... and I am curious about the Witches from Elswick (seeing that I used to live what, less then a mile from there).

The Witches of Elswick are absolutely great, if you like unaccompanied harmony. (And they do live in Elswick, too).

Have you ever seen Lunasa live ? I bought an album of theirs in the summer, and was a bit underwhelmed by it.

I haven't seen Lunasa

Which album did you buy. I only have listened to two of them and I prefer Otherworld to Redwood.

The witches ... well I'll listen and see whether I like it, not sure. My heart has been won by the celtic harp but seeing that I am going to be in Edinburgh playing and listening to it for a week non-stop in April I don't mind their absense after that for a bit.
