Maddy Prior & Forgotten Lands – Acapela Studio

The instantly recognisable voice of Steeleye Span, Maddy Prior began singing in her early teens and hasn’t stopped since. Forming a duo with Tim Hart in the mid-sixties, the pair were part of the debut line up of Steeleye and remained with the band until the early eighties, when Hart was forced into semi-retirement. A brief sabbatical after the well received Time album aside, Prior has been the one of band’s constants – her voice guiding them through a variety of styles, from her beloved traditional music to rock and pop.

Outside of the band, Maddy has a long history of collaborations and a successful solo career. Forming the Silly Sisters with June Tabor at the height of Steeleye’s success in the seventies, her work has included a delightful series of albums and tours with The Carnival Band, the trio Maddy & The Girls and appearances with many of the musicians who she has inspired over the years – including The Levellers, Hannah James, Rev Hammer and Benji Kirkpatrick – as well as hosting singing workshops at her Cumbrian home. Whatever the project, however, it is Maddy’s voice that is the clarion call.

Maddy cuuernt project takes her ‘Forgotten Lands’ show out on tour in 2024. Maddy will perfom as a four piece, with keys/piano, viola, and electric guitar. 

This is a unique opportunity to experience this exciting and brand new performance by one of the UK’s undisputed musical legends.
