From the very moment that Steeleye Span first married electric instruments and traditional music, Maddy Prior has always been an innovator. Throughout her career, both with the band and in her solo career. 2006, however, saw her undertake he most challenging project yet - The Quest. Inspired by the legend of the Holy Grail, it was to be a tour of the UK that visited some of the most historic and dramatic location in the country, many of which were tied into the myths that surround the holy vessel.
Maddy Prior has always been fascinated by the stories and legends of these isles and has written or adapted most (if not all) of the great folk tales over the years. Of late, however, she has begun to explore perhaps the most enduring myth of all - that of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. The question whether the Grail made a journey through Britain, whether Joseph of Arimathea did visit here as a trader, even if he brought a young Jesus with him, has enthralled both artists and historians down the ages. The Quest is another in a long line of creative endeavours designed to engage with the story.
Accompanied by her long-term musical colleagues Nick Holland and Troy Donnockley, the tour saw Maddy revisit her solo catalogue for the first time in some years. The Quest CD/DVD includes material from ‘Flesh & Blood’, ‘Year’ and ‘Ravenchild’ releases, the trio of albums that she released to critical acclaim during the nineties. However the centrepiece of the live set comes in the form of the song cycle from ‘Arthur The King’, which deals with one of the key figures at the centre of the myth of the Grail.
With the majority of the material inspired by the folklore of the British Isles, it was fitting that the tour visited some of the most historical and dramatic places in Britain - Glastonbury, Tintagel, Yorkshire, London, Wales - before coming to a conclusion in the most astonishing setting of all, Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, the supposed final resting place of the Grail itself. There can have been no more suitable location to conclude this remarkable undertaking, as the trio played out their final songs of the tour under the imposing stone pillars and stained glass windows. That night the magic of the Grail truly seemed to be in the air.
Yet there was more to The Quest than just the music. This was to be the first interactive music tour, whereby internet watchers the world over would be able to follow the progress of Maddy, musicians and crew online as they were followed every step of the way by a film crew. Each day new footage, both on and off stage, was posted on the Quest website to provide a unique insight into the touring process. The best of these is available with a special bonus DVD that accompanies the album, featuring many of the most memorable performances from the tour alongside some fascinating and often hilarious behind the scenes footage. The Quest may have come to its conclusion, but this is a document that will ensure that the special atmosphere that created will never be forgotten.

Lovely song. Still, every time I hear it, I can't help but think "Bible fanfiction."

its factual not fiction
See 'The Drama of the Lost Disciples' by George F. Jowett. Jowett consulted original documents for his research, and proved that former historians had failed to do this meticulously. The story is extant and clearly set out in these fully authenticated historical archives (not only the Bible). Joseph and several of the disciples, plus Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, her daughter Sara-Tamar, her sister Martha and her mother, Mary Jacob, sailed to Britain a year or two after the crucifixion. They had to escape from Israel because the Romans were intent on exterminating all Jesus's family and followers. Joseph was very rich, the 'De Curion' (Minister for Metals in the Senate). He carried forward the Christ mission with the disciples and the three Marys. When the soldiers came for him, they took him and his group out to sea, where one of his own ships was anchored off-shore, waiting for him. The Romans had stripped it of its sails, its oars, and all the plentiful provisions which Joseph had provided for their voyage. They were loaded into the boat and left to die, but prevailing winds took them to the Strait of Gibraltar, where they were provided with everything they needed. They sailed on to France, and then to Britain, where they disembarked at Glastonbury. The Marys and Sara-Tamar, with John the Beloved, afterwards settled in France, although they kept in contact with Britain, visiting every part of the country. The disciples are buried at Glastonbury, so the old records say. They report that Mary Magdalene had a very beautiful, musical, rich speaking voice, and that she spoke of the Way (the original, true Christianity, not very much akin to much later 'churchianity'!)and baptised thousands at Glastonbury. Jesus and Joseph built the first Christian church (wattle and daub) in Glastonbury, and also one in Priddy, near the famous Priddy Circles. ('Church' means 'circle'.)There still exists a very ancient legend in Priddy that exhorts Priddy residents to 'lay a place for Jesus' at table whenever they serve up a meal. It was in the little Priddy church that William Blake sat and wrote his famous hymn, 'Jerusalem', set to music by Hubert Parry. 'And did those feet, in ancient time, /Walk upon England's mountains green?' etc. I think the answer to that is a resounding 'Yes!' (He sailed with Joseph many times prior to the crucifixion.) Not only do authentic documents tell the tale, but the legends in France and all over the south west of Britain regarding this story are legion. They are directly reflected in the ancient place-names too, and in folk songs passed down from antiquity. If you look at all the overwhelming evidence for the validity of this story, you would really have to have a very strong need not to believe it to just dismiss it.
