Having gone to folk clubs since the 60's, the Waterson's have always been part of my life and epitomised (to me) all that is folk. Their voices (Norma, Lal and Mike) always sent shivers down my spine. And of course Martin Carthy always was (is) a folk hero.   A generation later, we have had the sad loss of Lal but also the great delight of Liza (what a pedigree!).

I has the great fortune to see Norma, Liz, Martin(and others) not too long ago (The Gift) and I cannot believe that after all these years (when my Waterson LPs are looking as frayed as me), Norma's voice still sends shivers down my spine.

Hope you are up and about again soon Normax.
