  • How wonderful. I first saw Martin Carthy and the Three City Four in Manchester Free Trade Hall, in 1964. I was mesmerised by the beauty of their performance! In 1967, I saw the Watersons at Queen's University in Belfast. Once again, I was mesmerised - I'd never seen mini-skirts as short as Norma and Lal were wearing that night! And such heavenly harmony! Eliza is beautiful too! May they sing for ever!

    We don't have to WIN the human race ... just SAVE it ...

  • I love Waterson Carthy! My Dad went to school with Martin and he is always really friendly when we talk to him at gigs. Eliza Carthy is the saviour of modern folk music!

  • A very fine performance of Waterson Carthy superbly sung by Eliza.

    Another great ballad.

  • can someone name the tune they are playing to raggle taggle gypsy? i love it.

    it sounds quite different to the versions I know. More than just a shift to major - it's a different tune.

  • Gleet.

  • So simple and pure and yet so intricate and clever. Such a wonderful English folk sound. The Wraggle Taggle Gypsy is so rich in our heritage.

    Bless you all

  • Love your records!! They work as well here in sweden as over there!! :)

  • If I could play the violin like Eliza....well, I don't even know. But if I could...I don't think anything could stop me doing anything.

  • Totally agree! They have shifted it into a major, and it sounds awesome. There are some really cool timing tricks as well. Just love it.

  • Love the unusual tune here...so many versions of this are sung to some version of "Princess Royal". I like that this is a totally different tune.
