I never really got into her solo stuff; my mum loved it though. Those scratchy old Steeleye recordings are marvelous though.

convention as well.

my dads mate used to be in a sort of steeleye tribute band.
he still pulls the old songs out after a few whiskys.

i will.

ive just thought of one of the best song stories.

Lots of those folk tunes are stories like that...

Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Bert Jansch all have lots of that going on.
