Doors 7.30pm - 10.30 pm\n\nFor more than 50 years Martin Carthy has been one of folk music's gr eatest innovators\, one of its best loved\, most enthusiastic and\, at tim es\, 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 wi fe (Norma Waterson) and daughter Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 4 0 albums\, but Martin has only recorded 10 solo albums\, of which the much anticipated Waiting for Angels (Topic TSCD527) was the latest. Whether in the folk clubs (which he continues to champion)\, on the concert stage or making TV appearances (he was the subject of the acclaimed `Originals' mu sic 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 el ectric-guitarist and an authoritative interpreter of newly composed materi al. He always prefers to follow an insatiable musical curiosity rather tha n cash in on his unrivalled position. Perhaps\, most significant of all\, are his settings of traditional songs with guitar\, which have influenced a generation of artists\, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon\, on both sid es 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 of substance\, songs that tell stories\, whether they are traditional\, his own or from contemporary writers.’ The Telegraph ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2024/09/MartinCarthy2024.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241027T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
