Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
For many people, a firm fixture of the festive period is the combination of Steeleye Span’s Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band. They have been producing their fun take on beloved Christmas music ever since 1984. This musical partnership has made many albums including Carols & Capers, as well as, a concert experience like no other.
To mark the fortieth anniversary of their artistic relationship, Maddy & The Carnival Band will tour the UK in what will be a bittersweet celebration as it is also a farewell, being the last time they will undertake such an outing.
Together they will mix rich vocal harmony, and ancient and modern instruments with a refreshing cavalier attitude and plenty of humour, putting their inimitable stamp on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive fare.
This guarantees to be a Christmas party to remember!
Maddy Prior And The Carnival Band
Beginning as a one-off experiment for a Radio 2 Christmas Special, the collaboration between Maddy and the Carnival Band has become an ongoing concern, with regular tours and five albums released. They mix ancient, modern and ethnic instrumentation with a refreshingly cavalier attitude and plenty of humour. 'Lyric and music alike are beauty itself... nobody can touch Prior: pure, genuine, a truly gorgeous voice' (The Independent).
