Martin Carthy MBE is a true icon of British folk music.

In this episode, we explore Martin’s remarkable legacy - a career
spanning over six decades - from the 1960s folk revival to
ground-breaking collaborations with Steeleye Span, The Watersons,
and The Imagined Village (on which Paul, Martin and Eliza Carthy
collaborated on 'John Barleycorn'.

We discuss his work with Paul Weller, including the 2018 album
True Meanings, where Martin’s guitar graces the track 'Come
Along.'

Martin also reflects on the original 1972 recording of Lal
Waterson’s haunting 'Never the Same,' recently reimagined by Paul
for his upcoming covers album Find the El Dorado.

We also chat about Martin’s new 2025 release Transform Me Then
Into a Fish – a full-circle revisit of his 1965 debut album,
reimagined for his 84th birthday. It’s a powerful reminder of his
enduring artistry and commitment to traditional song.
