EP108 - Eliza Carthy - Trad / Prog Singer, Songwriter, Musician... ”Climbing forever trying...”

On this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I chat to an
incredible folk musician who is celebrating her 30th career
anniversary in 2022. Eliza Carthy MBE is, without doubt, an
innovator and leading light of England's folk scene - an amazing
solo artist, band member, singer, songwriter and fiddle player.


Eliza rose to prominence in the mid-1990s both as a solo artist
and a member of Waterson-Carthy, the group she formed with her
parents, folk icons Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy (Martin
himself played with Paul on the album True Meanings in 2018).


She has covered Paul Weller's Wild Wood for her LP Angels and
Cigarettes, played with him on Studio 150 and with The Imagined
Village and has performed live on stage with Paul for a BBC4
session - so plenty of lovely stories to hear on this one.
