Tim Hart RIP
Steve Y
by Paul Cashmere - December 27 2009
Steeleye Span founder Tim Hart has died at the age of 61 from lung cancer.
Hart was diagnosed 12 months ago in December 2008 and told the cancer
was inoperable.
Tim Hart formed his first band Rattfinks while he was still at St Albans
High School. The school also generated another famous band, The Zombies.
In 1970, Hart formed Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior. The group regularly
toured the United States and Australia.
Hart’s first solo album came in 1979. Prior contributed vocals to the
record.
In 1988, Hart’s health declined and he gave up music to become a writer
and photographer.
He was persuaded to perform again in 1995 for the charity War Child. He
was part of a five hour performance that featured almost every previous
member of Steeleye Span.
In 2008, he once again reunited with Prior for a one-off performance for
BBC’s Electric Proms.
Tim Hart died in the early morning of December 24, 2009.

FIRST breath of innovative music at the Tithe Barn in Laycock 1972 ---
Squeeeeeed in at the back --- I can still smell that wonderful mixture of
"happy smokes!" and the ancient oaks. A sad loss --- makes one think of our
own mortality.
