Event information

Folk great and the founding father of one of the world\'s most famous Families of Folk, Martin is a top class perfomer with roots from a variety of styles and influences. For more than 40 years, Martin Carthy has been one of folk music\'s greatest innovators, one of its best loved, most enthusiastic and, at times, most quietly controversial of figures. Partnerships with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife, Norma Waterson and daughter, Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 40 albums, but Martin has only recorded 10 solo albums, of which the much anticipated Waiting for Angels (Topic TSCD527) is the latest. He\'s a ballad singer, a ground-breaking guitarist. Martin Carthy was awarded the MBE for services to English Music and won Singer of the Year and Best Traditional Track at the BBC Radio 2 Awards 2005.
