Eliza Carthy “My Music”

~ Michael Stevenson ~ 3 Comments

This documentary focuses on Eliza Carthy, a singer-songwriter who is bringing traditional music to a new audience. She is the daughter of legendary folk musicians Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson. Her father was awarded an MBE for services to folk music in 1998, which actually seems quite a niggardly gesture when one considers how important a figure he actually is. He was inspirational to such musicians as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, and to later musicians such as Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and the Albion Country Band (the last two bands that included him as a member for a time).

The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe & Eliza Carthy 

~ Michael Stevenson ~ Leave a comment


Eliza Carthy takes over, talking Mark through her favourite tracks and playing live.

Eliza Carthy takes over the Folk Show from the comfort of her North Yorkshire home.

One of the UK’s great folk voices, she talks Mark through her favourite folk tracks and introduces exclusive session tracks recorded at home.

Eliza’s long career has seen her emerge from the esteemed Waterson-Carthy family and establish herself as one of the most talented and inventive musicians in folk.

Her latest album, a duo project with Fife-based producer Ben Seal, is called Through That Sound (My Secret Was Known).

She co-hosts this week’s Folk Show from Robin Hood’s Bay, where she is locked down with parents Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy.
