On this day, 14 Nov 1974, folk/rock band Steeleye Span played the Capitol Theatre, Cardiff. It was one of 29 dates across November & December with support provided by Richatd Digance.
After a long world Tour the band were back in the UK with another big venue tour, possibly their biggest ever, off the back of the successful 'Now We are Six' album and the Electric Folk TV series. This tour also included a short award winning short 7 minute film depicting the story of 'The Bold Poachers' made by An American film maker ('Arden Films'), sadly not seen since. The Mummers Play is performed again, billed as 'A new Mummers play'.
The bands Now We Are Six album title was borrowed from Winnie-the-Pooh author A.A. Milne's collection of poems for children
Whilst it also refers to both its sequence among their albums, and the band's size, in light of the addition of drummer Nigel Pegrum. It reached number 13 in the UK albums chart.
