 Martin Carthy (UK)
nominated by:
Jon Essex, Winchester:
'I have seen Martin in four concerts during 2002 in four different guises (Brass Monkey, With Norma, With Swarb and in English Roots). Each performance was a gem - the man is a genius! I have seen and listened to music from all over the world during the year, but this year Martin has given me more pleasure than anyone.'
Alan Perkins, Eastleigh:
'A man who has done more for the cause of British traditional music than almost anyone else of his generation. He has worked tirelessly to bring the music back to the people that it came from.'
Marc Appleton, London:
'Martin has been a mainstay and inspiration, spanning generation, gender and location. His legacy will continue to inspire.'
