Maddy Prior & Friends ~ "The Quest"

(This album comes with a bonus DVD, but unfortunately it won't be playable on most North American systems.)



Live performance recorded during Maddy Prior, Nick Holland and Troy Donnockley's tour of the UK that visited some of the most historic and dramatic location in the country, many of which were tied into the myths that surround the Holy Grail. This personal quest inspired the set list, with Maddy delving into her solo back catalogue for the first time in years. The trio were followed around on their trip across the UK by a film crew, the best moments from the gigs and behind the scenes footage feature on the accompanying DVD.

Maddy is my favorite British folk/rock singer. I've been following her Holy Grail thing a bit, so this will be a pleasant one for me. Too bad about the DVD.
