So sad to hear that British folk legend and heart of the Waterson/Carthy family clan of musicians died yesterday. . All our thoughts are with husband Martin Carthy, Eliza and all the children. I bought her solo albums alongside her contributions and central heart of the Waterson Carthy Band and had a good collection of Martin's and Eliza's solo works often with her contributions.
Her wonderful daughter Eliza Carthy wrote on Facebook: “Not much to say about such monumental sadness, but mam passed away yesterday afternoon, January 30th 2022.”

. . . .time with all its labours and time with all it's joys,
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . .time it is a precious thing . . . . . time brings all things too an end

Recorded at the Liverpol Philharmonic Hall on Friday 2 October 2009, The Waterson Family are the first family of folk. A rare chance to see the whole family performing together including Norma Waterson, Mike Waterson, Ann Waterson, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Eleanor Waterson and Rachel Straw, Maria Gilhooley, Oliver Knight and Saul Rose.
