Their latest tour will see them play at Newark Palace Theatre on May 11.

The band will continue to celebrate their famous past alongside their recent musical history, with their latest release, the Green Man Collection, offering new versions of three Steeleye classics as well as it’s long-lost title track by seventies band member Bob Johnson.

On this tour will be founding member Maddy Prior, Liam Genockey, Julian Littman, Roger Carey, Andrew “Spud” Sinclair and the latest addition, Athena Octavia.

Their new album Conflicted will be available exclusively on the road.
