TIM HART & MADDY PRIOR

A RARE JEWEL RECORDED BY TIM HART & MADDY PRIOR, FORMER MEMBERS OF STEELEYE SPAN. A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR OF FOLK MUSIC. A BEAUTIFUL ACOUSTIC ALBUM, SWEET AND PLEASANT

Born in Blackpool and raised in St Albans Maddy Prior first came to prominence as a duo with singer/ guitarist Tim Hart, building a reputation around the folk clubs and releasing two albums. As the 70s dawned, they joined forces with Ashley Hutchings (of Fairport Convention) and Gay & Terry Woods, with the idea of fusing folk song with rock instrumentation and technique. The new group took its name from a traditional Lincolnshire ballad 'Horkstow Grange' - the tale of a character called Steeleye Span. So began an incredible story. Others may claim the invention of folk-rock, but Steeleye were the first to drag it into the electronic age. In the age of the giant rock band, Steeleye Span fitted the bill perfectly, taking folk music out of the backroom clubs and into the charts with a string of hit albums, gold discs and world tours. Hart and Prior remained constant in a group whose changing line-ups read like a Who's who of British folk, until Tim left in 1980 and the band undertook a couple of sabbaticals, before returning in 1986. • text FROM THE OFFICIAL PAGE OF MADDY PRIOR
