Albion Band with Maddy Prior : Banks Of The Thames

[KMGDA49]

Maddy Prior always a wonderful singer and interpreter, and now she is a wonderful beautiful dancer! What a nice touch to this video. Hats off to Maddy and always a tip of the old hat to Anne Briggs!!

What is the name of the song? Banks of The Thames? I can't find it on any album from the Albion Band.

P.S. Maddy Prior rules!

@LeChuck63 No, the Albions never recorded it officially. A few other songs from the production appeared on the "Songs From The Shows" releases, but not this one for some reason.

@LeChuck63 would love to know if you find out please? I have looked all over too. and yes, she does indeed!

I recall this production - I went to see it on a very cold Friday night in early 1979. Lovely little show.

Great to see this again. I used to have this programme on tape, cassette that is as I didn't have a video recorder at that time and recorded it onto two sides of a C60! I listened to it for many years after and of course this song particularly stuck in my head. Good to hear it again.

Probably the only part of Albion River Hymn ever recorded in any media. Thanks for that, NearlyOut!
