Martin & Eliza Carthy

About this event

---

You may have heard recently that Martin Carthy's health has declined rapidly in the last few weeks, resulting in his decision to bring forward his retirement with immediate effect.  As such, Eliza has drawn together a community of varied and talented musicians, all of whom have played a role in Martin's outstanding career to share the stage with Eliza, to honour and celebrate Martin's immense legacy and musical back catalogue. The evening will present a rolling cast of admirers, colleagues and surprise guests, performing an entirely new set featuring some of Martin's best loved work from all eras of his career, spanning from his debut to final albums, via Waterson:Carthy and beyond. Martin's grandson will make his first ever stage appearances, playing one of his grandfather's guitars.
