About This Song
About "Reel (BBC “Folk on 1” 17 October 1970)" by Steeleye Span
A reel, pure and simple, but Steeleye Span invest it with a restless, forward-driving energy. The fiddle and mandolin lock into a tight, hypnotic groove, a BBC session capturing the band's live chemistry. It's a dance tune that feels less like celebration and more like a necessary release of pressure.
