These cats jam in ways I can't even imagine. Complete masters of their instruments and their music. And Maddy sings notes that don't even exist. This is big talent.
My favorite version of this song. From Parcel of Rogues, to other live versions, this one rocks out. Love Maddy's dancing as well. I first found the group when I found a cut out of Rocket Cottage in 1976. I was hooked. Still am. Amazing music over the decades.
Maddy - so unbelievably talented. Her voice is as beautiful as ever and band so great! Wish they would perform in California. I would love to see them in concert. Have been listening to their music for decades since I was very young and heard "Lovely on the Water." This band is been going strong for so many decades because of their immense talent. Maddy's vocals, stage presence and dancing is lovely!

"Geordie" is Scot for George. The Scots named the English living along the borderlands "Geordies" after the Hanoverian Kings they fought during the Jacobite rebellions.
I’ve loved Steeleye Span since the 60s. In the early 70’s, as part of the Folklore Society I brought them to Penn State. Tim Woods, Nigel Pegrum, Ashley Hutchings, and especially Maddy Prior and the others were delightful people and fantastic musicians. To take ancient music from the first century through medieval times and adapt it musically to the present with electrified instruments and recognizable time signatures brought the past to present. From sacred to bawdy Steeleye Span nails it!!

Except maybe for the modern trash they have the cheek to call music is there anything that Maddy and the group cant handle' Span are truly a gold plated group
Maddy & the drummer don't seem to age in looks! Maddy's dyed blonde hair looks good. I was expecting her to look much much older in this video, & I'm also surprised how unchanged her voice is from her 1970's recordings!!! Impressive!
I love this band... My ancestors came to England in 1066. They had to leave what is now Ireland for Virginia during the Elizabethan Invasion. We still know that roast beef needs Yorkshire Pudding. We keep the life alive. And, I still do not know if I am Anglican or Catholic... shame on me.
I am- not admitting the English part- but, it's there, generations ago. And what happened on Culloden still makes me tear up. We were exiles, moving to the north of Holland, fled Scotland after the Hugenot persecution- then fled to the north of Ireland to escape again. That is how my family ended up in America! Or so goe the geneology records of the churches we fled. Good luck to you! Best to you-
Background: The Jacobite Resistance to the English conquering of Scotland. In particular t was about the Stuart family (Jacobite comes James as Jacobus in Latin) A number of English were supposed to join with Scots but were, apparently bought out by the King`s money.
It's a Jacobite political mocking song making fun of the new king in Britain in the 18thC. He came from Germany and brought a fair amount of scandal with him. He'd left his wife locked up in a tower in Germany and brought his mistress, who was nicknamed "Goosie". Jacobites were supporters of the Stuart dynasty who'd reigned since Elizabeth 1st died. There was plenty support for the Jacobite cause throughout Britain and not just Scotland. At the core of it was religion and the desire to prevent a Roman Catholic on the throne of Britain, hence the import from Germany of a distant relative rather than next in line to Queen Anne. Even Scotland was divided over the issue with much of the lowland protestant and opposed to the Jacobites. Highlanders supported it, but more for the reason that they believed the throne had, in principle, been usurped rather than a desire for one religious faction or the other. Anyway, it ended badly for the Jacobites. However they did give us some great songs
The 15 Rebellion was completely different from the 45 in that it was quite a popular uprising not just in Scotland but in northern England too. The song is encouraging James the Old Pretender to come across and be with the rebels. Presumably if written at the time it was before their defeat at Sherrifmuir. By the time James actually came it was all over. Unlike the 45 when his son arrived with only a few supporters and actively drummed up largely unwilling supporters. Had Charles been around
@heliotropezzz333 - two kings. "Come over from France" was an appeal to Bonnie Prince Charlach, the pun about "Geordie´s whelps" was about the followers of a German on the English throne who had, in the eyes of Scots, no right to rule them.
@heliotropezzz333 1745. In the BBC´s "Battlefield Britain" series there was a docu about Culloden that still makes me shudder all these years later - and I´m not even Scot or English.
Sorry should read west through Jedburgh!! An interesting aside seemingly whilst crossing the Tweed at Kelso many of the Highlanders in the ranks were very reluctant to cross. Lord George Murray had to make a big thing of going across himself to get them to follow. It seems unlikely that they would be scared of the water so the feeling is that they were unsure about entering England. Of course they were nowhere near the English border but they paerhaps beleived the river was the border.
The song, Borgduck. The band is English, but they perform songs from all over the British Isles. I think Maggie Pryor is one of the best singers we've got...in any field!
@Pitfossil Thanks for the info. I was wrong about George IV. That was too late I think, and it would have been George I or II who was being referred to..
@elephantbarbiegirl I've listened to a few versions on youtube and sadly nobody seems to articulate the words very clearly. The Corries version is probably the clearest on youtube. We used to have an album by the Johnstones, years ago, and it was a very clear version but it's not on youtube.
Hello dudiepops, can I ask, is this whole concert available either to buy or download? Our family are massive SS fans and I'm forever referencing these vids but have no idea if the whole concert is available? x
First thank you replying to what I had said and yes I to still love her voice, but at my age 57 when you hear something you had not listen to for a very long time is it faster or is it that age thing that my childen tell me I have. Steeleye span in a round about why help me get my PHD as they always gave a lotbof info on the LP which seems to not be on cds. (yes I do wear glasses)
This is a bawdy Jacobite mocking song about when our Bonnie Prince Charlie fled to france to raise money for the Jacobite cause, he took up residence in a brothel, kittle housie. This song describes the whole saga. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_Ye_O%27er_Frae_France Cam ye o'er frae: came you over from Lunnon: London Geordie Whelps: diminutive of George I. Whelp an ill-bred child. Guelph: a political faction to which the House of Hanover belonged. kittle housie: tickle house (brothel)[3] goosie: diminutive of goose; nickname for the King's mistress Melusine von der Schulenburg, Duchess of Kendal, (at the kittle housie saw Geordie Whelps a riding on the goosie, means...um well...just use your imagination THE REST IS HISTORY!
@elephantbarbiegirl I think it's about George IV of England - about him and his dissolute life and is from a Jacobite point of view. Jacobites were supporters of James II and his descendants whom they regarded as the true Kings of England. James II was dethroned for being a Catholic King, but his descendants had support of the Scots. The Jacobite claim to the throne was eventually defeated and the Scottish Jacobites paid a terrible price. This song is in Scottish dialect.
Dont know if you are interested or indeed already know, but if you google the title you will come across some fairly erudite attempts at putting the words into an historical context. Really interesting stuff
Gorgeous piece. Is the violin/fiddle in need of maintenance? The microphone? Maybe the performer was nervous. The sound jerked abruptly back and forth from very loud to barely audible. Update: re-listening, the worst was at the beginning so probably nervousness. I know part of it was the style, but it was quite clumsy at first. Violin strings need oil maybe
the combined force marched by way of Cumbria to be defeated at Preston. about 34% of the Jacobite prisoners were English. In the 45 when they left Edinburgh the Jacobite army split in two. One half veered over to the west towards Carlisle whilst the half led by the Prince went by way of Kelso. But that was only to make it look like they were heading for Newcastle! After Kelso they headed east through Jedburgh, met up with the rest of the force, and headed for Carlisle. Nowhere near Newcastle!
Bobbin' John was Lord John Earl of Mar, his nickname was partly due to his "bobbing" walk, and partly because he changed sides from Government to Jacobite
These cats jam in ways I can't even imagine. Complete masters of their instruments and their music. And Maddy sings notes that don't even exist. This is big talent.
Maddy has a most amazing voice! Loving' the arrangement too.
Peter Knight is exceptional on this, as is Maddy's singing & dancing.
Steeleye span for me our the best british folk band in the youth and even now!!!
My favorite version of this song. From Parcel of Rogues, to other live versions, this one rocks out. Love Maddy's dancing as well. I first found the group when I found a cut out of Rocket Cottage in 1976. I was hooked. Still am. Amazing music over the decades.

Loved Steeleye since the mid seventies and think its wonderful that they sound so good today--- Maddy especially
Saw steeleye span at the garden in the morning 80s with fairport convention and renaissance.talk about a dream line up.
I understood every word perfectly, I learnt to speak English listening to this, great Jacobite song.

It’s not written in English it is written in Scots
what is this story about> from a kalifornian colonial?
Its a Jacobite song , Bonnie Prince Charlie and all that , satirising the opposition :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_Ye_o%27er_frae_France
What a fine performance! Awesome.
I'm glad to see SS is still producing good folk music after so many years.
Excellent version of this piece. Maddy's voice is better than ever. I also like when they go into the Tam Lin reel at the end of this.
bravi da sempre per sempre....
Maddy la tua voce fa sempre venire i brividi.. 🥰🥰
long live celtic music , from the western isles of scotland to bretangne ( brittany france ) the legends lives on !.
Brilliant. I doubt you'll ever see a street performer try and cover this one ;)
Really love Maddy Prior's voice and singing ... this is a very good song for hearing the way she sings.
I cry when I listen to Maddy singing that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love seeing Maddie and the band live - I shall take my little granddaughter to see them soon. She loves to see Maddie's swirly skirts.
"Geordie" is Scot for George. The Scots named the English living along the borderlands "Geordies" after the Hanoverian Kings they fought during the Jacobite rebellions.
Thank you! I am a descendant of both the Scots (Barr),and the
North Western Europeans. As well as the French.

they brought traditional folk music to the masses and made it popular. Gret band fronted by such a talented vocalist in Maddy Prior
Sounds like how my granny speaks. Either way. Amazing.
Seems like a terribly difficult song to sing but Maddie nails it!
Incredible Voice and best arrangement for this traditional folk song !

+Smudgefizz She could use a stylist--her clothes are awful
I think she looks lovely
I also think she looks lovely.
Chock full of milfy goodness.
Disappointed not to have heard this on the recent tour but not to worry this video is brilliant
This song blew my mind when I was 18 and it still blows my mind many years later
❤An old school folk masterpiece ❤.
Maddy is pure class
Wow...that's amazing vocal control. I love it.
I love this band... My ancestors came to England in 1066. They had to leave what is now Ireland for Virginia during the Elizabethan Invasion. We still know that roast beef needs Yorkshire Pudding. We keep the life alive. And, I still do not know if I am Anglican or Catholic... shame on me.
+Carl Stenholm So did my husband's family................they have roots in Suffolk but from Brittany originally.
what do you mean "what is now Ireland"?
Stephen Hill I assume he means that wherever in Ireland they were wasn't Ireland at the time but is in Ireland now.
I am- not admitting the English part- but, it's there, generations ago. And what happened on Culloden still makes me tear up. We were exiles, moving to the north of Holland, fled Scotland after the Hugenot persecution- then fled to the north of Ireland to escape again. That is how my family ended up in America!

To be honest I don't understand anything of the lyrics, but this just sounds so good.
Background: The Jacobite Resistance to the English conquering of Scotland. In particular t was about the Stuart family (Jacobite comes James as Jacobus in Latin) A number of English were supposed to join with Scots but were, apparently bought out by the King`s money.
Listen to, also, "Parcel of rogues in a nation." from same l-p with a drum until near the end.

English isn't my native language, I speak it very well, but non-deeply!
bickerandrue -- Glad to hear that. Saw them in concert once, at least 10 years ago but not more than 15.
Wow! Musicians what a concept!
Besides being one of the greatest vocalists ever, Maddie Prior is the sexiest woman I've ever beheld!
You r sick
"is this a scottish rebel tune?"
Its a Jacobite song from 1715, so yes.
What a lovely marriage between Ireland and Scotland How I love this****
While a desultory execution of the album track, Maddy Prior is Always a Marvel!!
perhaps something in between the two versions? ua-cam.com/video/hKuzKuxbjwE/v-deo.html
Simply fantastic!!!
Mi favorite steeleye song!
Maddy only could sing this song. Love you Maddy.
She sounds better than ever.
I figured that, friend. I just couldnt understand it. Anyway a friend from Scotland sorted it out for me. I thank you for your help.
Amazing talent!!!
It's Friday and I am thinking of how lucky you are!
here in 2023. loving it.
Excellent!! nice improv on the original version.
"Steel" in wonderful shape!
Seems perfectly straightforward ... loved Maddy in the early seventies, love he still.
Not at all - I just saw her on Electric Proms, she was as brilliant as ever....and why should she not get old...we all will
Workman-like job. Thank you.
great seen them live twice AMAZING
@heliotropezzz333 thanks for this! I can hear the odd name and bits and pieces but it didn;t make much sense to me. Now I understand it better

I was in a band in 1974 that played this song and freaked some folks!
I admit Im a Yank and have trouble sometimes with slang for the UK, but damn. lol what the hell is she singing? I like it never the less.
I love the energy in this song but....I imagine horses galloping over the countryside......but what is it about?
I love this music paul payton England ☺ x
LOVE it.
Great track saw them 2015 great live, pity Peter has left.
Lucky to have seen them twice in Tasmania -- Peter and Maddy were awesome!
Steve Smith I'm going to see Maddy next week at a local gig in town,can't wait :)
this is just great or better said : more than great ..
@heliotropezzz333 - two kings. "Come over from France" was an appeal to Bonnie Prince Charlach, the pun about "Geordie´s whelps" was about the followers of a German on the English throne who had, in the eyes of Scots, no right to rule them.

That'll be Hey for Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria then, the current Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, Ireland and France.

@nanettejtolbert they did tend to sing some of there songs faster at live concerts than on record
I love you Maddy.
really great and dynamic (tho I slightly miss the powerful sub-bass? long notes from the record).
wow
"Frae" just means "from" in Scots.
There's no reference to them in the song. "Geordie" is the name of a king, king George I.
The Corries also do a great version of this.
Dont know if you are interested or indeed already know, but if you google the title you will come across some fairly erudite attempts at putting the words into an historical context. Really interesting stuff
Great ! What key is that sung in?
Gorgeous piece. Is the violin/fiddle in need of maintenance? The microphone? Maybe the performer was nervous. The sound jerked abruptly back and forth from very loud to barely audible. Update: re-listening, the worst was at the beginning so probably nervousness. I know part of it was the style, but it was quite clumsy at first. Violin strings need oil maybe
Many thanks for that but I expect you may get 2 or 3 more inquisitors.
Wow!

The 24 downvoters are the scion of 'Bobbing John'.
Bobbin' John was Lord John Earl of Mar, his nickname was partly due to his "bobbing" walk, and partly because he changed sides from Government to Jacobite
Ahem. She's Maddy Pryor not Maggie ( as in Madeleine)
A few more pounds, a few more wrinkles - and still invincible.
