The good: I have 4 tickets to the Steeleye Span concert, purchased when they went on sale this morning through the Somerville Theatre.

The bad: they're not very good seats. Apparently the event went on sale some time ago at www.worldmusic.org, and all of the good seats have either been sold or are reserved for their members. I didn't want to buy a membership and then discover that nothing was left anyway, so I didn't do that. Grrrrr.

Woohoo!

I just happened to notice that Steeleye Span will be playing at the Somerville Theatre on September 19. Who wants to go?

If you haven't heard of them, (not too surprising, they were never incredibly popular, even though they've been around for OMG forty years!), a lot of their music can be found on YouTube. This is their one big hit, "All Around My Hat", from 1975.

Their lineup has changed many times over the years, and the sound as well, but they're always a lot of fun to see live.
