A smashing article about Martin Carthy. There is also some good news about his missus.

A very good article indeed. Gave the man a chance to breathe in print, and did him justice.

Also good to hear that Norma - and family - are very close to home.

It was in the Guardian, Derek, though may have been in the Observer too.

The Guardian and Observer seem to share a website.
I read yesterday's Guardian (Saturday) - not in there.
I read today's Observer (Sunday) - it is in there.

I think effectively both newspapers come from the same company.

Decent sort of bloke, but the history of the tradition is necessary if you are to know where you came from and so who you are. I am sure that he appreciates this, possibly more than anyone else in the country, but the written piece does not fully convey it.

Families are wonderful.

Martin Carthy presented songs from the BBC archives in 1994

Back in 1994 British folk musician and scholar Martin Carthy hosted a series of 6 radio broadcasts on the BBC 2 radio service. These are from cassette tapes of these broadcasts. He did a really good job - plays some amazing music. The tapes were digitized, and here they are. The first tape is programs 1-3, Jan-Feb 1994; and the second is programs 3-6, Feb-March. You will notice in the middle of each tape it cuts off and then cuts back in, that's where the tape side switches. I really recommend these shows, fun to listen to.
