This biography chronicles Ashley Hutchings’ journey from his early days in Muswell Hill to becoming the architect of electric English folk music. The authors examine his departure from Fairport Convention following the landmark 1969 album Liege & Lief—a departure driven by his desire to delve deeper into traditional English material rather than American singer-songwriter rock—and his subsequent formation of Steeleye Span and the multi-incarnation Albion Band. Drawing on extensive interviews with Hutchings himself, alongside such folk and rock luminaries as Richard Thompson, Shirley Collins, Simon Nicol, Martin Carthy, and Joe Boyd. The book is illustrated with archive photographs, poster reproductions, etc, and concludes with a detailed discography covering Hutchings' main releases, side projects, and spoken-word/theatrical recordings.
