Because  . . . . . . I love the work of Waterson - Carthy from Martin Carthy inventing his own tunings for the guitar and the research and extraordinary peerless vocal skills of Norma Waterson and her daughter Eliza Carthy they are en famille a cornerstone of all British songwriting folk roots



Norma from her album with a Paul Whiteman song - check the line up!!



and with Teddy Thompson


Eliza carries the torch of folk songs into the contemporary world also



a favourite arrangement of a favourite song



legendary song by Ewan MacColl (Salford born Jimmie  Miller)
