About the show
As legends of British folk music, Maddy Prior and Peter Knight require absolutely no introduction.
From the 1960’s folk revival to the present day, to list their achievements would fill an entire website, and a memoir of their joint and individual achievements would make fascinating and compelling reading.
Both have made long lasting and significant contributions to the English folk scene, most obviously through their work with Steeleye Span, but also via a wealth of other projects including The Gigspanner Big Band and The Carnival Band. Each in their own way has changed the perception of what traditional music can be, introducing it to much wider audiences.
As one of ten exclusive album launch tour dates, Peter and Maddy revisit some special moments from their shared history with Steeleye Span, not only in music, but also in words, answering questions from you, the audience.
The only word to describe this is “unmissable”!
Featuring - Maddy Prior
Maddy's career began in the late 60s on the folk circuit, gaining prominence in folk-rock band, Steeleye Span and has seen her collaborate with artists such as Jane Tabor, Martin Carthy, Nic James and Danny Thompson, as well as working on solo projects.
Her versatility as an artist is demonstrated by her broad musical scope as a vocalist and songwriter which extends from her own interpretations of traditional folk through to hard rock and ambient electronic textures.
