Subject: RE: RIP Tim Hart From: Phil Cooper Date: 25 Dec 09 - 08:57 AM I always liked his singing and playing both with the Span and his three duo albums with Maddy Prior. Sorry he's gone. |

Subject: RE: RIP Tim Hart From: Folknacious Date: 25 Dec 09 - 09:17 AM Cancer, I believe. I understand from a friend that he'd been receiving treatment in hospital in the UK, but it seems he died back at his long-time home in the Canary Isles, according to this |

Subject: RE: RIP Tim Hart From: Old Vermin Date: 25 Dec 09 - 09:27 AM Oh. Tim Hart and Maddy Prior when he and I were very much younger. Was only a few moths older than I. Was sober enough already, but... |

Subject: RE: RIP Tim Hart From: EnglishFolkfan Date: 25 Dec 09 - 11:59 AM A sad day for those of us who are of the same age. Gone long before his talents could enthuse and inform another emerging new young audience/rising of musicians. Treasured music captured on vinyl, tape, cd & HD to keep alive the memory. My condolences to his family, colleagues and friends. |

Subject: RE: RIP Tim Hart From: Herga Kitty Date: 25 Dec 09 - 12:24 PM Very sorry to hear this. I first heard Tim and Maddy at C# House in the late 1960s, and at the Goat (and Tim's father christened the son of one of Herga morris who lived in St Albans). Kitty |

Subject: RE: RIP Tim Hart From: Ruth Archer Date: 25 Dec 09 - 02:29 PM "A sad day for those of us who are of the same age." And for those who are considerably younger. Tim and Maddie's Folk Songs of Olde England was one of my first introductions to English traditional music, though I first heard it at least 20 years after its release, and I still hold it dear. RIP, Tim. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Dec 09 - 03:13 PM Tim and Maddy once asked me to sing a song I had sung earlier in the evening, instead of their doing the encore they were being asked for. I was so chuffed, you wouldn't believe it, so not un-naturally I have been a fan ever since. RIP my friend. John |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Andy Jackson Date: 25 Dec 09 - 04:59 PM So sad, Tim and Maddy are a fond memory of my introduction to folk in the late sixties. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Weasel Date: 25 Dec 09 - 05:05 PM very sad to hear this - his singing was one of the things that brought me to folk music in my student days. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Suegorgeous Date: 25 Dec 09 - 05:17 PM I'm sad to hear this - he and Maddy and the others were the first folk band I heard (and loved). I loved his voice too. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: GUEST,Derek Schofield Date: 25 Dec 09 - 06:43 PM very sad news. I remember Tim and Maddy's joyful singing in Manchester's Free Trade Hall in about 1970 or 71, and when watching them together on the TV in the Electric Proms, October 1998, his voice seemed no different in spite of the passage of time. Condolences to his family. Derek |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Phil Edwards Date: 25 Dec 09 - 07:14 PM Very sad news. "Gaudete" kicked it all off for me; without Tim & Steeleye I might never have got into folk at all. 60 is too young! |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: jacqui.c Date: 26 Dec 09 - 04:34 AM So sad, and much too young. I'm another who count them as part of my introduction to folk music. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: BusyBee Paul Date: 26 Dec 09 - 04:39 AM As Jacqui C said. A friend gave me tapes of his Steeleye LPs to take to college and I was hooked for evermore. Sleep well. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Derby Ram Date: 26 Dec 09 - 05:15 AM Very, very sad, another of my great mentors/inspirations and folk music innovators bites the dust! Only the other evening we were enjoying a performance by a great legacy of Tim's: 'Steeleye Span'- still a fantastic band. It was the final gig of the tour and was just sublime. They spoke of Tim's illness and had been taking collections and dedicating a raffle in his name. But I had no idea he was so close to death's door. Tim was surely one of Folk Music's Blueprints (or originals)and his influence is all over just about everything that has happened in the traditional folk world since. R.I.P. Tim |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Will Fly Date: 26 Dec 09 - 06:45 AM What Chas said. We booked Tim H and Maddy P at Clanfolk (BBC Folk Club) at the old Marquis of Clanricarde around '69. Wonderful evening of superb playing and singing. A loss too early. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Dec 09 - 11:56 AM Five months to the day younger than me. Thanks to Tom (Curmudgeon) for introducing me to his singing almost thirty years ago -- both Steeleye Span and the LPs he recorded with Maddy. Part of the soundtrack of my life... Condolences to all...friends, family and fans. Linn |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Dave Sutherland Date: 27 Dec 09 - 04:02 AM Very sorry to hear this sad news(what an awful year this one has been). I remember when Steeleye were in Newcastle on the following night he turned up unannounced at Birtley folk club on the Wednesday, paid on the door and sang one song from the floor; just like everyone else. RIP |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: The Borchester Echo Date: 27 Dec 09 - 04:10 AM I met Tim and Maddy when they were just starting out on one of their first tours in Penzance. Later, when Steeleye was being founded I was sent to interview them. They couldn't have been more welcoming in that famous North London musicians' house in Whitehall Park. Farewell Tim. Too soon. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Smedley Date: 28 Dec 09 - 10:29 AM It's very telling, and angering, that nothing about his death has appeared on the BBC News website. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 28 Dec 09 - 10:45 AM Very sad. I was listening to Folk Songs of Old England Vol II in the car on Boxing Day (before I heard the news). Condolences from another '48er. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: Bonzo3legs Date: 28 Dec 09 - 01:19 PM I wonder how many more folk artists will fall to all of that smoke so inconsiderately blown out. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Tim Hart (9 Jan 1948- 24 Dec 2009) From: GUEST,Sarah McQuaid Date: 28 Dec 09 - 04:28 PM Only just heard. Very sad. Thus far this is the only proper obit I've found online: Steeleye Span Founder Tim Hart Dead From Lung Cancer 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.
