Steeleye Span co-founder Tim Hart has died at the age of 61 after a battle against lung cancer.Hart started the band in 1970, with Maddy Prior and Ashley Hutchings. He remained a member of the band until 1982, before leaving to become a producer. Hart was forced to give up music in 1988, because of major health problems. He became a writer and photographer, although was persuaded to take part in a War Child charity show in 1995, which featured almost every member of Steeleye Span.
Not a band I was into back in the day, but have listened to recently. Never well-known over here, Steeleye Span was one of the British Folk-Rock bands along with Lindisfarne.
So rock on (or folk-rock on), Tim...
