Etchingham Steam Band
Albion Band
Steeleye Span
The 'Etchingham Steam Band' were a folk group formed by Ashley Hutchings in England in 1974 after the breakup of the Albion Country Band. They were named after Etchingham in Sussex where Hutchings was living with his wife Shirley Collins. The band's name was a reference to their acoustic nature, formed during a time of power cuts in the mid-1970s that caused problems for any band using electrical instruments or amplification. The band released no albums during its existence, but recordings were subsequently released as an album. The band ceased in 1976 when Hutchings formed the Albion Dance Band.

“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about ones heroic ancestors. Its astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldnt stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (19241987)
