THE Playhouse in Weston will host a successful rock act celebrating its 40th anniversary on November 17.

In a world where bands come and go in a blink of an eye, the enduring success of Steeleye Span is one of the great stories in rock music.

The band has produced a succession of acclaimed albums, and the current line-up comprises Maddy Prior, Peter Knight, Liam Genockey, Ken Nicol and Pete Zorn.

Tickets are priced at £16.50 and £18.50 and are available from the box office on 01934-645544.
