Anybody catch Eliza Carthy & Norma Waterson tonight on "The View" (arts review programme aired on RTE television from Dublin)? They duetted a great major-key version of The Raggle Taggle Gypsies which I hadn't heard before, along with melodeon and Liza's fiddle. Brilliant stuff…

I chanced on this last night on return from the pub. Melodeon was played by Tim Van Eiyken. Great stuff.

Incidentally, I understand the appearance was to advertise a concert called 'The Daughters of Albion' being organised as part of the Cork, European City of Culture celebrations. The 'Daughters' include June Tabor, Kathryn Williams and Thea Gilmore as well as Eliza and Norma. I'm unsure as to whether Tim Van E. is going to be a daughter in this context.

Yep - Cork Opera House on Friday May 6th, along with June Tabor & others. More info about this extremely interesting-sounding concert HERE
