Stage4Beverley's Summer  Outing presents Martin and Eliza Carthy of the East Coast’s pioneering Waterson/Carthy family in conversation.

Toll Gavel Church

“In conversation with members of the Waterson Carthy family – their lives in music- featuring Martin and Eliza Carthy.&quot;The East Coast’s charismatic and pioneering Waterson/Carthy family, formerly from Hull, need little introduction to folk audiences: a much-loved lineage in the English folk song tradition for over 50 years. In this intimate and exclusive event, Martin and Eliza Carthy will discuss their lives in music, sing a handful of songs from their repertoire and take part in an audience Q&amp;A.Martin is a legendary ballad singer and guitarist who has influenced a generations of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, while Eliza has been twice-nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and a multiple-award winner at the BBC Radio Two Folk awards.For more than 50 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. His skill, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers, not only from within the folk scene, but also far beyond it. His trailblazing musical partnerships include with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife (Norma Waterson, whose illustrious musical career began with the family band, The Watersons) and daughter Eliza Carthy. ‘Arguably the greatest English folk song performer, writer, collector and editor of them all’ - Q MagazineEliza Carthy is undoubtedly one of the most impressive and engaging performers of her generation. Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize and winner of innumerable other accolades, Eliza has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists including, Paul Weller, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Patrick Wolf and Bob Neuwirth. More than most, Eliza Carthy has revitalised folk music and captured the most hardened of dissenters with intelligent, charismatic and boundary-crossing performance.Eliza grew up immersed in the world of traditional music. She still divides her time between touring and recording with her legendary parents, Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson as well as engaging in numerous pioneering solo and band projects.
