Alan Bearman's website has no mention of cancellations at the moment but I think it's clear that a combination of the birth of Eliza's daughter and Norma's ill health have made these shows impossible to complete. I understand that Eliza was already due to miss some, if not all, of them anyway and with Norma unavailable and Saul Rose having ceased gigging with Waterson:Carthy earlier in the year they would have essentially ended up being Martin Carthy solo gigs.

On the subject of Norma's health, Eliza's most recent tweet on 25 November (the day before she gave birth) reads "mam having a tracheotomy today.she should be in IC for another week and a bit,all being well.it won't affect her singing apparently.phew."

Let's hope everything went well.
