Eliza Carthy, Saul Rose

If there is one musician who embodies the dynamism and vitality of the current English folk revival, it?s Eliza Carthy. Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza?s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle playing and mesmerizing live performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians. She has moved through English folk music like a force of nature, both stirring it up and putting it back on the map through television, radio and live performance.

Eliza?s long-term collaborator Saul Rose has been playing melodeon since he was 11 years old. An exemplary musician and singer, over the years, he has toured with Eliza in Kings of Calicutt, Waterson:Carthy The Wayward Band, as a trio with David DeLarre, and a duo as tonight. A veteran of the English folk scene, his band credits include, among others, ceilidh band Phungus, Dansaul with Dan Plews, Whapweasel and he is a mainstay of folk trio Faustus with Benji Kirkpatrick and Paul Sartin.

Together, these two iconic artists will provide an evening of the finest music that will stick in the memory long after the last note has sounded.
