The early 1970s were the start of a vintage period for music and for Steeleye Span, the pioneers of folk-rock – it was their time to shine and become a major creative force.
Fifty years on, and still with legendary vocalist Maddy Prior, they’re out to show the world what makes them so special at the Tivoli in Wimborne tonight, (Monday, October 24).
Prior’s voice remains remarkable, swooping and soaring in harmony and melody and, more importantly, underlining how Steeleye has survived largely by having her at the helm.
Their gig at Wimborne’s Tivoli theatre tonight will pay homage to the ’70s as they revisit definitive material from their albums.
