Eliza Carthy Trio

Thursday 20 May
8.00pm Great Hall

Iconic folk singer Eliza is winner of two Mercury Prize nominations and innumerable other accolades over a 16 year career. She has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists from Paul Weller to The Wainwrights, Billy Bragg, Nick Cave and Joan Baez. For this performance, and album Dreams of Breathing Underwater, Eliza is accompanied by Willie Molleson on drums, Emma Smith on double bass, Barney Morse- Brown (Imagined Village) and Phil Alexander (Salsa Celtica) on keyboards and piano accordion.

A truly inventive and innovative singer and fiddle-player, Eliza holds an unrivalled seven BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and is possibly the most impressive and engaging performer of her generation. In 2003 she became the first traditional English musician to be nominated a BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music (for Anglicana).
Powerful, vital and exuberant rhythms absorbed from her travels around the globe, characterise this highly original, self-penned music.

N.B. This is a standing gig with limited downstairs and balcony seating.
