----------------------------------------
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

Adding a conversely corseted and energetic performance, THE BELLES OF LONDON CITY will be on hand to remind us it's May Day.

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
