===''Now We Are Six Again'' / ''Wintersmith''=== In June 2010, Ken Nicol announced that he was leaving Steeleye and the band reassembled for a Spring 2011 tour, with Julian Littman joining the line-up as guitarist, replacing Nicol. Multi-instrumentalist Pete Zorn also continued to play with the band, making them a six-piece for the first time in many years. In 2011, they released ''Now We Are Six again'', a live double album based on their set at the time, which included full performances of all the songs on their 1974 ''Now we are Six'' album. In October 2013, the band released their 22nd studio album, ''[[Wintersmith (Steeleye Span album)|Wintersmith]]'', containing original songs based on the writings of [[Terry Pratchett]]. This was followed by a winter tour of the UK. This album marked a return to form and media attention as the album reached number 77 in the UK Albums Chart, had tracks played on BBC Radio 2 and led to various radio and TV interviews for Terry Pratchett and Maddy Prior as they promoted the album. Following Pratchett's death, in March 2015, the band made an appearance at the memorial service for him, in April 2016, at Barbican Centre, London.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/pratchett-memorial-327142|title=New Terry Pratchett publishing revealed at memorial|website=Thebookseller.com|access-date=9 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170314212723/http://www.thebookseller.com/news/pratchett-memorial-327142|archive-date=14 March 2017}}</ref>
