Seems that Maddy Prior (of Steeleye Span fame) is off on an ickle mini-tour of the north with Nick Hennessey at the beginning of May. The tickets say that the tour has the quaint title of "North of Skipton" tour. Locally they're playing a 200 person capacity gig at Houghton Le Spring's St. Michael's and All Angels church on 3rd May.

At the moment looks like there are still a reasonable number of tickets left for this low key gig.  Having seen the Steeleye anniversary gig at the Sage I have to say I'm really looking forward to this. Seems like this will be a cool way to celebrate the May bank holiday....and slightly later than the Folk Society 5:15am celebration at Prebends Bridge on May Day itself, which I may or maynot aim for. Makes up for missing the Ipswich Mayday Festival which is a wonderful little community festival in Tractor Land on Sunday 2nd.
