tim hart

TIM HART was a renowned folk musician and singer who came to prominence in the early 70s with the legendary Steeleye Span. He sadly passed away in 2009 but his music now is as popular as ever.

TIM HART – his debut solo album – was issued on Chrysalis in 1979 and has long been out-of-print. This welcome reissue boasts one bonus track which is new to CD.

The album followed Steeleye Span’s farewell tour in 1978 and boasted contributions from Span members Maddy Prior, Rick Kemp and Nigel Pegrum.

Recorded at 10cc’s Strawberry Studios in Stockport, the album was well-received on its release, fusing traditional folk elements (Hart played acoustic guitar, dulcimer, mandolin with more modern electric/rock aspects (e.g. synthesiser).
