- Steeleye Span performing 'The Bonny Black Hare' taken from the bonus DVD included with the 'Live At A Distance' album, recorded live in Hove, Dec 2006. Available to buy from the Park Shop here: parkrecords.com/product/prkcd1...
Two CDs and a DVD to celebrate their entire career, from the earliest days of ‘The Blacksmith’ through to their most recent album ‘Bloody Men’. With four decades of material to choose from, it’s unsurprising that Steeleye are not content just to roll out the hits. These are often songs that have come and gone from their live set over the years, allowing the band to return and revisit them at will.
Phil Udell, 2009
In a world where bands come and go in the blink of an eye, the enduring success of Steeleye Span is one of the great stories in rock music. 2009 saw them celebrate an incredible forty years together, an achievement made all the more remarkable by the fact that the band had seldom been more active in its career.
At a period in their career when most bands are happy to settle down to rehashing past glories, Steeleye Span have pushed on with a succession of acclaimed albums, each seeing them re-define their classic sound.
The two CDs were recorded over four concerts between 2002 and 2008; the DVD was filmed at Hove in 2006.

Absolutely filthy lyrics 👍
What a smokin hard rock fiddle solo!!!
Yes, it was!!!
Brilliant violinning indeed! I think that the cameraman eventually sussed that it wasn't the guitar making that almighty sound :-)
Love this version.
How perspicacious
The perfect match of folk and rock british music.
Steeleye rock as hard as anyone !
rarely seen one of the old English folk rock bands being so much on fire nowadays!
Irishwoman has best voice.
I saw them last night at Moseley Folk Festival. I have never seen them live before but have most of their records. I think my jaw dropped during this, their final number before encores of AAMH and G. These guys in concert should be required viewing for all young and aspiring bands, both folk and rock. I will now be eternally grateful that they are still performing and can do it like this.
Martin carthy and steeleye span
Actually, I think this is a great way to do this song. I love it. Well done Span. Rock and fucking roll.
One of the best bands ever!
What a cracking song! Brilliant violinning!
That should FIDDLING, not "violinning", that sounds weird, and there's actually no such word.
Only just found this - I was there! Great gig.
Dear sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph......I first heard Steeleye Span when I was sparkin' a girl in Newfoundland, while paying in the bars there. I have played with a violin for years, now it's time to play it for real!!! I was groovin' on the bass line,and thought, now him and that drummer, who is a very very good drummer, are having a grand old time! And then Maddy got me! The guitar is gutsy, raw, and GREAT, but the Fiddle....oh my.. I have to go sit down now. I'll be ok, don't worry........
ITS ALL A FIDDLE
Heck yes! I never get tired of the 14th of May activities!
I bought the cd/dvd. Its great, highly recommended. The band is sharp and, of course, Ms. rior sings like an angel.
Top musicians,great bass play!
Fantastic! Saw this in Oxford and it blew me away!
Great song. Lovely tune.
Where has this band been all my life?
This takes me back, I used to sing this, Wow.
What's not to LOOOOVE???
Wow...! No Words!?
Six years ago now, nice version, had that West Coast rock edge/sound, which early Fairport sported before they got fully into Folk music.
This is very, very good indeed.
span,oh yes.
Peter. Fucking. Knight. Everything you need to know in three words.
cool- as always
Don't quite know how or why I've missed hearing this song before now. I love it. Going to start playing it! Also like Fairport's version.
fantastic band, best band by far Cardiff 70s ,thin lizzy, 10 cc ,man.
There is also a version by Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, similar to the Fariport Convention version.
ALL BRAZILLIAN WAX NOWADAYS. Great tune
@donyaquijota - quite unambiguous: She gives directions (... but under me apron they say it did go ...) and an invitation (... and if you'll not deceive me ... we'll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare ...).
Then after all of his bravado: "if your powder is good ... fair why don't you keep firing at the bonny black hare?" ... his rejoinder makes it a very honest account of the survival of the species - both expressing their wishes and taking responsibility. Very good story all around.
The crowd got their money's worth.
I never belireved
I like the discreet nature of the words here. Good and raunchy and non-PC. One question only. I am off to interview some senior mining company executives as I am a freelance writer. Should I wear my hair in the style of the drummer?
Bloody hell what a voice. No disrespect but she isn't young here either. Some talent.
Naughty, naughty.
Robert Plant, please record this song!
Maddy is a fox.a great singer too.
Very, uh, "tight" version of The Bonny Black Hare.
Not to be confused with The Curly Black Hair.
I like songs about rabbits.
Very lovely, but I still prefer the Fairport version from Angel Delight.
Whew what a song. The lyrics are quite raunchy.
46 lol
Top drawer instrumentation but I much prefer the Fairport version with the naughty Swarb singing.
Swarb's version is the best. Damh The Bard does a variation of Swarb's recording with Fairport Convention
It's a sad thing that climate change has caused many black hares to go completely hairless.
I've always loved this song, and I've always loved Span, but this is awful.
Great musicianship Maddy has ruined a beautiful song as she has changed her style of singing and I hate it! This is a traditional song which really does need the traditional treatment.
Maddy never ruined a song in her life. If it's ruined for you, then it's you!
Well said Stu. Fuck the fucken fucker, and the horse he road in on.
I am a huge Steeleye fan, but this is the worst version of this song I've ever heard. Dreadful. Listen to Fairport's version instead.
