We are very excited to announce that we have Eliza Carthy Trio are to play at the intimate venue of Wadsworth Community Centre.

'Conversations we've had before'...is the first album Eliza Saul and David have recorded as a trio and will be released initially as a Limited Edition CD in summer 2020. It will feature a selection of traditional songs and tunes that they have all played together, but never before recorded.

If there is one musician who embodies the dynamism and vitality of the current English folk revival, it's Eliza Carthy. Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza's music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle playing and mesmerizing live performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians.

Melodeon maestro Saul Rose was a long-time member of Waterson:Carthy, winning two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards with 'Broken Ground' and forming a duo with Eliza Carthy. The double album 'Red Rice', of which Saul was an integral part of the 'Rice' half, was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 1998. More recently Saul has joined Whapweasel, played in Ruth Notman's band, and formed a duo with James Delarre (Mawkin). He is a founder member of new folk big band Eliza Carthy and The Wayward band. He has played on numerous albums as a guest, including Jackie Oates' album 'Hyperboreans', Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy's album 'The Gift' and the soundtrack for the films 'Morris- A Life With Bells On' and 'Far From The Madding Crowd'. He was nominated for the Musician of The Year award in the 2010 BBC Folk Awards and during 2011 took the part of Songman in the West End play War Horse.

David Delarre (guitar, mandolin banjo) is a musician, composer and music educator. Through his work with the award-winning singer Eliza Carthy, David has performed at a number of high profile venues across the UK and Europe.
