Editing Steeleye Span (section)

==Examples of collaborations==
Prior sang backing vocals on the title track of Jethro Tull's 1976 album ''Too Old To Rock and Roll, Too Young To Die'', the song "Salamander's Rag-Time" from the same session and their 1978 single "A Stitch In Time". Later, members of Jethro Tull backed Prior on her album [[Woman in the Wings]].  Ray Fisher's rare 1972 album ''Bonny Birdy'' includes one track with the [[High Level Ranters]], one with Steeleye Span, and one with Martin Carthy.

Until the 1990s, Steeleye often toured as part of a double bill, either supporting [[Status Quo (band)|Status Quo]], or featuring support from artists such as Rock Salt & Nails and [[The Rankin Family]]. When Steeleye Span supported Status Quo on tour, in 1996, the latter had just issued their version of "All Around My Hat" as a single. "The video was filmed at Christmas," Prior recalled. "We'd supported them, and I found myself down in the [[moshing|mosh pit]]. [[Francis Rossi|Francis]] saw me and told the audience, 'Oh look, there's a Maddy lookalike down there… Fuck me, it ''is'' Maddy!' I was hoyed over the barrier [to the stage], to join them for the encore. It was all very jolly."<ref>Ling, Dave: "Steeleye Span"; ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'' #227, September 2016, p101</ref> Status Quo's single is credited to "Status Quo with Maddy Prior from Steeleye Span" and reached number 47 in the charts.
