ADVENTURES IN PRE-MODERN MUSIC pt 12: A Farewell to the Deptford Arms, May Day SPECTACULAR with MARTIN CARTHY and Morris dancing from THE BELLES OF LONDON CITY Saturday May 1st, 8pm, Tickets £8/£5 from: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/64878 at Deptford Arms, 52 Deptford High Street, SE8 4RT ---------------------------------------- MARTIN CARTHY (MBE). A pivotal figure whose powerful vision of the tradition was instrumental in defining the 1960s revival and shaping how folk music has been understood ever since. With a career too prolific and illustrious to do justice to in this space he has been part of the Watersons and Waterson:Carthy, (husband of Norma Waterson, father to Eliza Carthy) Steeleye Span, Brass Monkey, worked with Dave Swarbrick, and of course is perhaps best known as a solo performer. "Arguably the greatest English folk song performer, writer, collector and editor of them all" - Q Magazine http://www.watersoncarthy.com/id22.htm Adding a conversely corseted and energetic performance, THE BELLES OF LONDON CITY will be on hand to remind us it's May Day. http://www.myspace.com/thebellesoflondoncity This will be our last Deptford Arms show so catch it now in all its bizarre glory before it's gone forever. Love K&C. x
