The 'Etchingham Steam Band' were a folk group formed by Ashley Hutchings in 1974 after the break up 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 regular power cuts in the mid 70s that caused problems for any band using electrical instruments or amplification. The band released no albums during its existence, but recordings were subesequently released as an album. The band ceased in 1976 when Hutchings formed the Albion Dance Band.
