SUMMARY:Martin Carthy (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT - Love Thy Neighbour present Martin Carthy live in Lew
 es at Lewes Con Club on 12th November for a special seated show!\n\nBar fr
 om 3:30pm. Doors 7:30pm - 10:30. SEATED\n\nSOLD OUT original ticket link: 
 lovethyneighbourmusic.co.uk\n\nWe are delighted to be able to offer an ext
 ra-special chance to hear master craftsman Martin Carthy perform and remin
 isce on his illustrious career in folk song to date\, with musical interlu
 des and conversation with his talented friend\, musician and journalist\, 
 Jon Wilks (Tradfolk). Martin has an insatiable musical curiosity…and a l
 ifetime of wonderful stories and songs to share. There will also be a chan
 ce for audiences to ask freely questions of this mighty oak of the English
  folk tradition. Expect frank and fascinating insights into all manner of 
 subjects…from Scarborough Fair to the Beastie Boys!\n\nLifetime Achievem
 ent Award – BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2014\n\nFor more than 50 years Marti
 n Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators\, one of its b
 est loved\, most enthusiastic and\, at times\, most quietly controversial 
 of figures. His skill\, stage presence and natural charm have won him many
  admirers\, not only from within the folk scene\, but also far beyond it.\
 n\nTrailblazing musical partnerships with\, amongst others\, Steeleye Span
 \, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife (Norma Waterson) and daughter
  Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 40 albums\, but Martin has only r
 ecorded 10 solo albums\, of which the much anticipated Waiting for Angels 
 (Topic TSCD527) was the latest. Whether in the folk clubs (which he contin
 ues to champion)\, on the concert stage or making TV appearances (he was t
 he subject of the acclaimed `Originals’ music documentary strand on BBC 
 2) – there are few roles that Martin Carthy hasn’t played.\n\nHe’s a
  ballad singer\, a ground-breaking acoustic and electric-guitarist and an 
 authoritative interpreter of newly composed material. He always prefers to
  follow an insatiable musical curiosity rather than cash in on his unrival
 led position. Perhaps\, most significant of all\, are his settings of trad
 itional songs with guitar\, which have influenced a generation of artists\
 , including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon\, on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\n`
 Arguably the greatest English folk song performer\, writer\, collector and
  editor of them all’ Q Magazine\n\n‘Carthy is a master of the ballad o
 f substance\, songs that tell stories\, whether they are traditional\, his
  own or from contemporary writers.’ The Telegraph www.bbc.co.uk/programm
