ONE of the great names of the English folk-rock scene is returning to perform in Malvern next weekend.

Over forty years from her first appearance on the late sixties folk-club circuit, Maddy Prior is one of the most enduring, influential and respected artists in British music.

A true legend of English folk music, Maddy has built her career on exploring various musical avenues, but is most widely known as the voice of Steeleye Span and her latest album Three For Joy is a further exploration of the tradition that she loves.

Together with musical partners Giles Lewin and young accordion player Hannah James, Maddy makes a welcome return to the Malvern Cube to perform the music of England, the British Isles and Eastern Europe, all delivered in her own unique style.

The concert is on Sunday, March 26, at 7.30pm at the Cube in Albert Road North. Tickets are £16 from the Tourist Information Office in Church Street or cubebookings.ticketsource.co.uk.
