BRITISH folk legend Maddy Prior will be performing at Otley Courthouse next month.

The singer, who emerged on the late 1960s folk club circuit, first came to prominence as part of a duo with singer/guitarist Tim Hart - then in 1969 the pair became founding members of Steeleye Span.

More than four decades later, Prior is still out touring with old and new collaborators.

Her show at the Courthouse takes place on Thursday, April 6 and will see her joining forces with instrumentalist and singer Giles Lewin, a stalwart of the Carnival Band, and Hannah James from the award-winning duo Hannah James and Sam Sweeney.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets, priced £16.50, are available from the Courthouse by calling (01943) 467466 or visiing otleycourthouse.org.uk .
