Eliza Carthy Band : Lavenders : Monto Water Rats 18 March 2010

The Eliza Carthy Band play Lavenders at the legendary Monto Water Rats in Grays Inn Road, London on 18 March 2010.

Eliza and the band played a set that not only featured most of the superb, largely self-penned, Dreams of Breathing Underwater album (including the song featured here), but also played a handful of new songs, destined for the next album.

If you haven't heard Dreams of Breathing Underwater, but like what you are hearing here, I suggest that you give it a go. I liked it so much I bought it twice! Thats not quite as crazy as it sounds though. I bought it on CD when it first came out in 2008 - and when it was re-mastered & re-issued on 180 gram vinyl with a bonus 7" single earlier this year I bought it again! The vinyl version is a thing of great beauty btw - so if you are a vinyl junkie, seek it out; it sounds amazing!

Finally, with regards to this performance, special mention must go to the astonishing Barney Morse-Brown on cello - simply stunning! Barney also plays with Eliza in the Imagined Village project btw.
