Eliza Carthy links on Radio 3:
World on Your Street Musicians Story
Critics Award 2003 album review
nominated by:
Ian Fairholm, Cheltenham:
'Like her new album quite a lot. Not my favourite of hers by any means (too traditional and twee in places for my tastes), but still has some wonderful highlights and shows some real class and determination.'
David Mcloughlin, Worthing:
'In a country that seems oblivious to so much of its rich heritage of folk music, Eliza Carthy continues to show that Folk Music in Britain is very alive and evolving...just as it has for hundreds of years.'
Stephen Tippett, Walton-on-Thames:
'In 2002 Eliza was really prolific, as only a daughter of Martin could be. She released her finest solo album, a Waterson/Carthy cd, a Blue Murder cd and "Dinner" with Martin Green. As well as contributing to various other artists' albums. Eliza is also socially aware - performing with refugees in London and supporting groups such as Cuba Solidarity. In a music "business" which is full of hype, Eliza's music making rings true. She is a beacon of hope!'
Martin Clark, London:
'She has a brilliant haunting voice and is dedicated to folk music.'
