Just beautiful. I love this woman to bits. We all know what Eliza has done to keep the English tradition alive but it's great top see this doc. As much as I adore Waterson Carthy and believe me I'm one of their biggest fans and had the pleasure of working with them, the Copper family in Sussex are the real 'first family of English folk'. If you dont know their stuff, find it.
I'll join the chorus of people thanking you for posting these videos. As an American I don't have access to videos like this, so three cheer for YouTube and people like you for sharing! I was delighted to see Eliza singing "Willow Tree". That tune along with "The Gallant Hussar" are my 2 favorite EC songs.
thanks very much for uploading this. i missed it because i had no idea it was on, channel 5 and culture don't tend to be heard in the same sentence. lovely programme, thanks again. x
Eliza is a national treasure - definitely THE star of her generation on the folk season. It's remarkable how genius travels genetically.

Seven parts to this series, and with joy, I watched every one.
The rendition, phrasing and arrangement of the opening tune to this part, Willow Tree, is such a delight. It brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you from Canada.
