- **Event Name**: Eliza Carthy & Special Guests: The Songs of Martin Carthy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 10 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: In the wake of Martin Carthy's unexpected recent retirement, Eliza has drawn together a community of varied and talented musicians, all of whom have played a role in Martin's outstanding career. These artists will share the stage with Eliza, honouring and celebrating Martin's immense legacy and musical back catalogue.
This evening will present a rolling cast of admirers, colleagues and surprise guests, performing an entirely new set featuring some of Martin's best loved work from all eras of his career, spanning from his debut to final albums, via Waterson:Carthy and beyond. Martin's grandson will make his first ever stage appearances, playing one of his grandfather's guitars.

Tim Van Eyken
Tim Van-Eyken is a highly respected singer, melodeon player, and interpreter of English folk music. Rising to prominence as a member of Waterson:Carthy, Tim has established himself as a distinctive solo artist with a rich, expressive voice and a powerful instrumental style. His performances are marked by both passion and precision, breathing new life into traditional songs while showcasing his skill as a captivating storyteller.


Tim Eriksen
Tim Eriksen is acclaimed for transforming American tradition with his startling interpretations of old ballads, love songs, shape-note gospel and dance tunes from New England and Southern Appalachia. He combines hair-raising vocals with inventive accompaniment on banjo, fiddle, guitar and bajo sexto - a twelve string Mexican acoustic bass - creating a distinctive hardcore Americana sound. Tim has worked regularly with both Eliza and Martin over the past few decades.



Jennifer Reid
Jennifer Reid is a folk singer specialising in work songs, Lancashire dialect and Manchester broadside ballads. She is researcher, speaker, community artists, provocateur and hugely engaging performer who has tapped into a tradition – performance by working-class women – unfairly marginalised in the past. Jennifer works often alongside Eliza Carthy


Finn Curran Carthy 
Finn Curran Carthy is the grandson of Martin Carthy, son of Eliza, and the latest in the lineage to take to the stage, playing his grandfather’s guitar.
