Advent 14: 'Gaudete'

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Steeleye Span giving us some 'Gaudete'. I may be wrong but I think this is the only song in Latin to make it into the top 20 singles chart and I remember them walking onto the stage of Top Of The Pops holding candles back in the '70s.

This video is from a concert in 2004 and shows that they still have it. Maddy's voice is still pure and piercing and my one sadness is that they didn't sing the song when I saw them at Christmas last year, but I forgive that cos they were fab anyway.
