Mudcatters seemed happy enough when I launched a little Eliza Carthy competition here. So let me repeat the exercise with Maddy Prior's new CD Seven for Old England....

Read my review at Salut! Live and give me your own best Maddy or Steeleye Span anecdote, recollection, thought. The best three - and my decision has to be final on that - will get signed copies of the CD.

Eliza produced a great response and I'd like to Maddy will, too. The replies can be witty, wise, to the point, whatever...

To make things simpler, the comments - which will therefore become the entries - should appear here, either as a reply to this thread or a PM to me.

And, for the record, I think Maddy is bearing up well. it's a fine album.
