Podcast appearances and mentions of Eliza Carthy

Generations of singers have sung, played and loved the folk music found in the United Kingdom, and this week's podcast features some examples. Collectors A.L. Lloyd and Ralph Vaughn Williams transcribed and recorded traditional music and made it available to all through the English Folk Dance and Song Society. We'll listen to revivalist groups like The Watersons and the Copper Family, and then examine the electric side of the style with Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention. We will conclude with some of the bright lights on today's scene including Eliza Carthy and The Furrow Collective. A taste of old and new from the U.K. … this week on The Sing Out!

Enjoy this classic episode from August 2018Eliza Carthy inherited her love of English music from her famous folk singing parents, Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson. Norma had recently suffered a serious illness and Eliza moved back to the family home in the North Yorkshire fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay to look after her. Eliza takes Matthew on a walk along the cliffs near her home, reflecting on her family heritage and then on to the farm where the whole extended family used to live when she was a child. Martin, Norma and Eliza's aunt Ann and cousin Marry gather at the kitchen table for a rousing and emotional sing.---We rely on support from our listeners to keep this show on the road.

Hello! I'm currently in the middle of producing a new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast. So in the meantime, I've got a special episode for you that I think you'll enjoy! Some of you will remember an episode I recorded with Matthew Bannister back in 2020 - he's the founder of the multi-award winning Folk on Foot podcast where he goes walking with leading folk musicians in beautiful spots that have inspired their music. I really loved chatting with Matthew and hearing all about how and why he started Folk on Foot, and I've devoured each episode over the years. It's an absolutely stunning podcast, and complete escapism, even if you're like me and don't know a huge amount about folk music. So I'm thrilled that he's let me share with you one of my favourite episodes of Folk on Foot which I think you'll love. It's Matthew's walk and conversation with the author Raynor Winn, who's bestselling book, The Salt Path, tells the story of her journey along the 630-mile South West Coast Path with her husband Moth, after they'd become homeless and he'd been diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Raynor has also been collaborating with the Gigspanner Big Band to create a show which marries her words about the South West and traditional music from the area. The Outdoors Fix has always been about sharing conversations and inspiration so we can all fit more of the outdoors into our lives - so I hope you enjoy Matthew's wonderful chat and walk with Raynor and you take away something from it too. There are dozens of other episodes of Folk on Foot available, recorded all over the country, from Shetland to Port Isaac, and with musicians like Eliza Carthy, Johnny Flynn and Karine Polwart. One of my favourite episodes is with Sam Lee where he sings among nightingales in Sussex - I'd definitely recommend listening to that one. Just search for Folk on Foot wherever you get your podcasts, or find them @folkonfoot on social media. If you'd like to listen to my conversation with Matthew on The Outdoors Fix, where he tells me all about his outdoors life and why he set up Folk on Foot, it's the episode from July 2020. And stay tuned for a brand new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast in the next few weeks! Until then, enjoy your adventures outside - we all know it's the best place there is.

In this week's episode Esther & Susie showcase talents even they didn't know they had. And they probably don't. Let's just say, Eminem does NOT need to worry... They discuss talent v success, and if baby is born with it or if it's maybe-learnt. Again, Eminem does not need to worry! Thankfully someone with a tangible talent is their special guest this week. Namely, musician Sam Sweeney. Sam has been described as 'one of the defining English fiddle players of his generation' (Mark Radcliffe) and this was cemented when he won Musician of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award in 2015 - his fourth time of being nominated. He is a veteran of folk juggernauts, Bellowhead, former and inaugural Artistic Director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble, a founder member of ground-breaking trio Leveret as well as a passionate and experienced educator. He has collaborated, recorded and performed with The Full English, Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy, Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings, Fay Hield and Emily Portman as well as creating his own theatre production Made In The Great War. Sam's first two albums, The Unfinished Violin (Island Records) and Unearth Repeat (Hudson Records) were received with international acclaim. Sam is currently touring his third solo album, Escape That - tour dates. Sam's chat with the gals is wide-ranging and hugely entertaining. He tells them about joining the biggest folk band in the world aged 18, and how it feels to rock (folk) out at the Royal Albert Hall. He talks about his experiences in movies - Disney's live action 'Little Mermaid', and Richard Curtis's 'About Time'. There are some super questions from our wonderful listeners, and, as an extra treat, Sam performs live on the podcast! LTO's first live musical performance and it is magical. (Sam is available to tour when you need him, Arcade Fire - just putting that out into the universe!) With sketches, live music, surprising rapping and a joyful interview, this is an episode to savour.

Jack Rooke drew on his own life for his hit Channel 4 sitcom Big Boys which focussed on an unlikely friendship between two first year university students – both working class with one struggling to explore his gay sexuality and the other an apparent Jack-the-lad who is really anything but. As Big Boys returns for a second series, he talks to Samira about making comedy out of loss, mental health, and male friendship.Musician Eliza Carthy is Front Row's wassail Queen as she sings live on the programme some traditional songs from Glad Christmas Comes - her new album with Jon Boden lead singer of Bellowhead. Her performance joins in with many others happening across the country this month to mark the January ritual of blessing fruit trees in hope of a bountiful harvest.Simon Broughton reports from the Mugham festival of music and poetry in Baku, Azerbaijan.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring folk music royalty Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden, playing songs from their new album of wassailing wonderments and telling stories. Plus lots of tracks I hope you've never heard before but will love for ever more.

Clive Anderson and Kofi Smiles are joined by Barrie Rutter, Richard Bean, Leah Brotherhead and Kat Hudson for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Eliza Carthy and Chiedu Oraka.

Chris Addison has built his career on laughter, as a stand-up comedian, a panellist on shows such as Mock the Week, and as an actor and director. You perhaps saw him as Ollie, the hapless junior Whitehall adviser in The Thick of It, the political satire created by Armando Iannucci. He's worked as a director on another highly-acclaimed comedy in the corridors of power: the Emmy Award-winning Veep, set in and around the White House. He has also co-created and directed Breeders, a brutally honest sitcom about parenthood, starring Martin Freeman. Chris has also performed in opera on the stage at Covent Garden – though in a speaking role. He is an opera fan, so his musical choices include Mozart and Rossini but also folk music by Eliza Carthy and a Swedish Christmas song.

Eliza Carthy joined us at Wickham Festival 2023.

As part of his research, Phil has championed Russian-born Scottish cantor and composer Isaac Hirshow as part of the BBC's Forgotten Composers project, and he is currently working on a book and radio projects with the aim of bringing his work on Scottish-Jewish music to both academic and lay audiences. Phil is the pianist, bandleader, and driving force behind acclaimed Scottish world-folk band Moishe's Bagel, and also performs regularly with maverick English folk singer Eliza Carthy and many other UK jazz and folk musicians. He is also active as a composer, with commissions including the Hippodrome Festival of Silent Film, Northern Ballet, and Edinburgh Tradfest – this last resulting in a concert celebrating the diverse musics of recent immigrants to Scotland. Phil has written widely on klezmer, salsa, Scottish music, and accordions, and his monograph Sounding Jewish: klezmer and the contemporary city was published by OUP in 2021.

Musician Eliza Carthy was born into an English folk dynasty. The daughter of acclaimed folk singers Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, she joined the family business at a young age as a singer and violinist, playing with her parents as Waterson Carthy and with her mother, her aunt Lal and her cousin Marry as The Waterdaughters. As a solo artist and bandleader, Eliza has explored the roots of folk and expanded the repertoire. Awarded an MBE in 2014, she was twice nominated for the Mercury Prize for album of the year, and in 2021 became the president of the English Folk Dance and Music Society. She tells John Wilson about the first time she attended the Vancouver Folk Music Festival in 1989, aged 13. Standing on the main stage at sunset overlooking the mountains and sea was a defining moment at the start of her career. She also discusses the influence that singer Billy Bragg and Scottish folk rock band Shooglenifty had on her music. Eliza also talks about the impact of the pandemic on the folk music community and the personal loss of her mother. Producer: Edwina Pitman

Episode 8 of the second series of The Old Songs Podcast, supported, so very kindly, by the English Folk Dance and Song Society, is an unusual one as it focuses on an old tune rather than an old song. Prepare yourself to delve into the background of one of the most well-known Morris dancing tunes, 'Princess Royal'. Joining Jon Wilks to discuss the tune is one of the country's finest melodeon players, John Spiers, or "Squeezy" as he's fondly known as on the English folk scene. Many of you will know Squeezy as a founding member of Bellowhead, not to mention a myriad of other bands he steps in and out of when the road calls. Over the course of an hour or so, the pair look at the history of 'Princess Royal' tune. Did it start life as an accompaniment to English Morris dancing, or does it stretch further back and over greater distances than that? Squeezy tells us a bit about growing up, somewhat hesitantly, in the Morris tradition, and talks about the difference between being a musician performing this tune on stage and a musician playing for a Morris side. He explains what a jig is, what a reel might be, how to recognise a slow, and who's wearing the trunkles in this relationship? Squeezy mentions video clips and different versions throughout, which we have listed and embedded below. LinksOver the course of the episode, John Spiers and Jon Wilks mention the following things:The English Folk Dance and Song SocietyThe story of Cecil Sharp and Headington Quarry MorrisMat Green (Magpie Lane) playing and dancing 'Princess Royal' on YoutubeTrack listingJohn Spiers playing the Abingdon version on the Spiers and Boden album, Bellow, 2003Spiers & Boden playing the Bampton version on their album, Vagabond, 2008Magpie Lane playing 'Princess Royal' on their 2006 album, The Oxford RambleClannad playing 'Mrs McDermott' on their 1973 album, ClannadMat Green of Bampton Lane, performing the tune while dancing a jig (see above)The Unthanks singing 'The Scarecrow Knows' from the soundtrack to the TV series, Worzel Gummidge, released in December 2022Jim Moray singing ‘Gypsies' from his 2003 album, Sweet England'Princess Royal' from Morris On, released in 1972A snippet of Eliza Carthy and Nancy Kerr performing the B part on their 1995 album, The Shape of ScrapeJohn Spiers performing an exclusive version of the North Leigh version, spoken about in an earlier part of the conversationFor more info on John Spiers, head to johnspiers.co.uk.

Eliza Carthy is celebrating 30 years as a professional musician with a new album, Queen of the Whirl. She talks about this, the legacy of her musical family – as the daughter of Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy – the way traditional music develops, and her own song-writing, and performs live in the Front Row studio. Double Palme d'Or winning Swedish director Ruben Östlund tells Samira about his first English language film, Triangle of Sadness - a satire on the fashion industry, influencer culture, and the world of the super-rich. Plus the threat to brutalist architecture. Last year the Dorman Long Tower in Redcar was demolished, and now the Kirkgate Shopping centre in Birmingham is condemned too. Brutalist architecture provokes both love as well as hate, but around the country its buildings are in peril. Author John Grindrod and Duncan Wilson from Historic England discuss how much is being lost, and if it matters. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May Photo: Eliza Carthy.

'Shallow Brown' [Roud 2621] is a much-loved and rather mysterious traditional folk song. Collected on both coasts of the United States, as well as the South coast of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Canada, the most common versions of this mesmerising sea shanty hint at heart-breaking experiences of the transatlantic slave trade. In this, the fourth episode of the second series of The Old Songs Podcast, folk singers Angeline Morrison and Jon Wilks discuss the song's known history, the singers and collectors involved with it, and their own experiences of first hearing and performing the song. LinksOver the course of the episode, Angeline Morrison and Jon Wilks mention the following links:The English Folk Dance and Song Society‘Shallow Brown' [Roud 2621] on the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library websiteThe Souls of Black Folk by W.

On this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I chat to an incredible folk musician who is celebrating her 30th career anniversary in 2022. Eliza Carthy MBE is, without doubt, an innovator and leading light of England's folk scene - an amazing solo artist, band member, singer, songwriter and fiddle player. Eliza rose to prominence in the mid-1990s both as a solo artist and a member of Waterson-Carthy, the group she formed with her parents, folk icons Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy (Martin himself played with Paul on the album True Meanings in 2018). She has covered Paul Weller's Wild Wood for her LP Angels and Cigarettes, played with him on Studio 150 and with The Imagined Village and has performed live on stage with Paul for a BBC4 session - so plenty of lovely stories to hear on this one.

Paul Thomas Anderson discusses directing and writing his new romantic comedy, Licorice Pizza, starring Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper and Tom Waits. The film is a coming-of-age story, complicated by the fact that the protagonist is 15 and his love interest, 25. In our Christmas card from Doncaster, the host of the BBC's Yorkshire-cast and local boy, James Vincent, meets Deborah Rees, Director of CAST Theatre and Connor Bryson, an actor appearing in the BSL integrated pantomime, Aladdin. Street art duo Nomad Clan reflect on the making of the UK's longest mural, and local musician Skinny Pelembe shares his lockdown Song for South Yorkshire. Last night, the longest of the year, musicians Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden intended to bring good cheer, light and joyful music with a wassail concert, but the omicron variant put paid to that. Instead Eliza and Jon will be bringing some of what was planned to Front Row, explaining the ancient tradition of wassailing – the word comes from the Anglo Saxon for good health - and singing and playing.

I didn't have to travel far to meet this week's guest, my friend, kinda neighbour and fellow Whitchurch Folk Club organiser, Paul Sartin. In the wider folk world he's probably best known as a member of Faustus, Belshazzar's Feast and, or course, a former member of Bellowhead. But it's Paul's encyclopaedic knowledge of traditional folk music, and, in particular, songs from in-and-around Hampshire, that make episode 5 of The Old Songs Podcast particularly special. Regular listeners will notice that we've returned to a few topics we've already covered, and we re-meet characters that have cropped up before, but it's so worth it when you're with someone as scholarly as Paul. In particular, it's his knowledge of the folk song collecting process that took place close to 120 years ago. As a direct ancestor to Edith Sartin and Marina Russell, two particularly noted source singers, Paul has spent a lot of time looking at the biographical detail of these people and what these songs meant to them. While we're ostensibly discussing ‘An Acre of Land', the song allows us to touch on a variety of other old songs. In the course of this episode you'll hear performances from Eliza Carthy & the Gift Band, PJ Harvey, Martin Carthy, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, Tom Newman, Spiers & Boden, and, of course, the mighty Faustus. Here, then, is my friend and yours – Paul Sartin, freshly dosed on good coffee, hoeing down hard on ‘An Acre of Land'. Who featured in this ‘An Acre of Land' podcast?A quick recap of the songs you've just heard. Clicking on the links below will take you to places to buy the songs.The podcast opened with ‘An Acre of Land', performed by Faustus on their eponymous album.You heard Eliza Carthy & The Gift Band taking on ‘The Elfin Knight', which appeared on the Anchor album.PJ Harvey sang ‘Acre of Land' with Harry Escott on a standalone single.You heard Martin Carthy's seminal performance of ‘Scarborough Fair' from his debut album.Cohen Brathwaite-Kilcoyne's brilliant, rousing performance of ‘Country Carrier' is from his solo album, Outway Songster.The source singer you heard was Tom Newman, singing ‘All For Me Grog' or ‘My Old Hat That I Got On' to Mike Yates. For more on this song, see my blog post.Spiers and Boden performed ‘The Quaker / Brighton Camp' on their Through and Through collection.And the two songs you heard from Faustus were, of course, ‘An Acre of Land' and a clip of ‘Next Stop: Grimsby' (which I mistakenly called ‘Last Stop: Grimsby' – my apologies, both from their Faustus album (see the link above). That's all for this week's episode. See you in a couple of weeks with… well, you'll have to wait and see. So many people to speak to, so little time! 

This episode we're joined by Martin Green who is challenging you to reimagine Lyke Wake Dirge, an ancient funeral chant about the soul's journey through purgatory. Martin is a multi-award winning musician and composer who has collaborated with many artists and musicians including the likes of Eliza Carthy, Joan Baez, Anais Mitchell and Aidan Moffatt. As a member of Lau he has won four BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Group and in 2015 he was nominated in the Best Musician category. In 2019 he won the Ivor Novello award for his sound walk “Aeons” that was part of The Great Exhibition of the North. We first came across Martin's work in his 2015 show Flit, a multimedia, collaborative song cycle on the theme of migration. As a performer steeped in traditional music but with a process informed by sampling, electronics, and interdisciplinary storytelling, we wanted to get his insight on how he traverses these multiple planes Check out Martin's recent project The Portal here. /// TAKE PART /// Charts: example score, chords & lyrics (.pdf) Playlist: Spotify playlist of existing versions of Lyke Wake Dirge.

Anne McElvoy explores whether it is worth getting hot under the collar about blue collar history with historian Alison Light, David Almond and Eliza Carthy. Once upon a time the working class were heroes; their close-knit communities were celebrated. Has this working class disappeared along with the great industries- steel -coal and ship building - that brought them into being? Is the working class now a figment of other people's dreams or nightmares? This event was recorded in front of an audience at the Free Thinking Festival at Sage, Gateshead on 02.11.14.

Harriett Gilbert invites Deborah Meaden from Dragons' Den, and folk-singer and songwriter Eliza Carthy to discuss their favourite books: 'Everything is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer, 'The Instance of the Fingerpost' by Iain Pears and 'The Emperor's Babe' by Bernardine Evaristo.
