Steeleye Span play their new album 'Conflict' and classic fan favourites with a new seven-piece line-up at Taliesin Arts Centre.
Steeleye Span are playing Taliesin Arts Centre on Friday 13 November, as part of their Conflict tour. They're touring their latest album, Conflict — their eighth record in twelve years — and they've described it as a reflection of the times we find ourselves in. The set doesn't stop there, though; they'll be playing a selection of songs from across the years alongside the new material, with a good few of the fan favourites mixed in.
The band has a long history behind it, and they describe themselves as the group that changed the face of folk music over fifty-seven years together. This particular show is fronted by a new seven-piece line-up, with Roger Carey on bass and Benji Kirkpatrick adding bouzouki, acoustic guitar and vocals. There's a bit of family history there, too: Benji's father, John, had two successful stints in the band and played on many of its classic albums.
As for the venue, Taliesin Arts Centre sits at the heart of Swansea University's Singleton Campus. It opened in June 1984, is owned and managed by the university, and is recognised by the Arts Council of Wales as a Regional Performing Arts Centre.
