The daughter of playwright Alan Prior, Maddy Prior is a dedicated and thoroughly professional performer who worked as a roadie for Rev. Gary Davis during the 60s folk scene before forming a successful duo with the traditionalist, Tim Hart. Both were absorbed into Steeleye Span in 1969, and Prior quickly became the group's focal point and ambassador. When Steeleye Span disbanded in 1978, she signed to Chrysalis Records, and launched her solo career with Woman In The Wings and Changing Winds. Both albums contained several 'historical ballads' written by Prior herself.
