Maddy Prior talks with Jonathan Taylor radiogb.com.wmv

Maddy Prior talks with Jonathan Taylor following her Steeleye Span Concert, Victoria Hall, Halifax, 2008.

In 1966 she began performing with Tim Hart, another St Albans resident, and together they recorded two albums before becoming founding members of Steeleye Span in 1969. They were the backbone of the group until the early 1980s when ill-health forced Hart into semi-retirement. Apart from the tambourine, Prior doesn't play an instrument, but she always gives a sprightly performance of her individual dances. In 1974 Ralph McTell wrote "Maddy Dances" in her honour, included on his album "Easy".
