Eliza Carthy
Accompanied by Willie Molleson on drums, Emma Smith on double bass and Phil Alexander on keyboards / piano accordion Eliza will showcase original material from her album 'Dreams of Breathing Underwater. Powerful, vital and exuberant rhythms, absorbed from her travels around the globe, characterize this highly original, self-penned music. A truly inventive and innovative singer and fiddle-player, Eliza is a gifted musical conceptualist confirming her position as, arguably, the most impressive and engaging performer of a generation. Eliza is also the winner of an unrivalled seven BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2003 she became the first traditional English musician to be nominated a BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music (for Anglicana). Yorkshire-born and now Edinburgh-based, Eliza Carthy grew up immersed in the world of traditional music. She divides her time between touring and recording with her legendary parents, Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson and numerous pioneering solo and band projects. Eliza has colloborated and performed with an array of musicians from around the globe. From the UK these include Cerys Mathews, Damon Albarn, Nitin Sawney, Paul Weller, Jools Holland and from the US, Joan Baez, Van Dyke Parks and Rufus Wainwright.
