If one musician embodies the dynamism & vitality of the current English folk revival, it’s Eliza Carthy.
Daughter of folk legends Martin Carthy & Norma Waterson, Eliza grew up immersed in the world of traditional music & from an early age was championed by John Peel, Andy Kershaw & Billy Bragg.
Beloved of staunch traditionalists & iconoclasts alike, Eliza’s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre & style. Whether performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle-playing & mesmerizing performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians.
Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize, and winner of many other accolades over her thirty-year career, Eliza has performed and recorded around the world with a diverse array of artists including, Paul Weller, Rufus & Martha Wainwright & Jarvis Cocker.
