We heard them in a cabaret setting, and our table was right next to the stage. Sadly, the performance we heard left us with the impression that Maddy Prior's voice was...umm...well past its prime. Gay and Terry Woods were on board for this show, and we noticed that on all the old songs from Hark! the Village Wait, where once Gay sang melody and Maddy sang descant harmonies, now Maddy was singing melody and Gay was singing descant. Maybe this was just a temporary condition, but it really sounded as if Maddy's upper range was gone :-(
