Folk hero Martin Carthy @ The Continental, Preston Apr 18th

continentalteam [Edit] [Delete] 11:40, 19 March '09

A special solo performance from one of English folk music’s biggest stars: from his pioneering work with Steeleye Span & Dave Swarbrick, his long-running partnership with wife
Norma Waterson and daughter Eliza Carthy through to countless solo gigs, few have done more to further the cause.

Carthy is a giant of folk music who has influenced thousands of musicians over the past 40 years, including the likes of Dylan and Paul Simon - find out why at The Continental

Tickets will be available soon for £8. I'll post back with more details as soon as they are released.

For four decades, Martin Carthy's work has immeasurably enriched the British folk heritage. He is regarded as one of the finest singers and interpreters of traditional music of the British Isles, as well as a highly influential and much-imitated guitarist. Awarded the MBE for services to English folk music in 1998, his drive and enthusiasm are undiminished and he continues to be one of folk music's great innovators - BBC Radio 2
