Here's a song for a Summer's day!. . . .
The delicious Eliza Carthy and The Wayward Band at this years Southwell Folk Festival

Doing a favourite song of mine 'Willow Tree' arranged a la Eliza's album 'Anglicana'

I adore Ms Carthy and indeed would stoop to kiss the hem of her garment were e'er we to meet, she inherits the musicianship of her father and mother (Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson) and has a post punk folk sensibilty that lends her astonishing voice compositional skills that are at once unique and to be treasured - in short a style all her very own. She is like her folks, in shorter, a wonderment!


Check her back catalogue ASAP! !
