Earth Unwrapped | Folk Weekend: Birdsong - You've Never Heard So Sweet

If there is one musician who embodies the dynamism and vitality of the current English folk revival, it’s Eliza Carthy MBE. Kings Place proudly welcomes her back for a special gig as part of its birdsong-inspired Folk Weekend.


As the daughter of folk legends Martin Carthy & Norma Waterson, Eliza Carthy grew up immersed in the world of traditional music and from an early age was championed by John Peel, Andy Kershaw and Billy Bragg.

Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza’s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether solo or fronting a big band, performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle-playing, and mesmerizing performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians.

Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize, and winner of innumerable other accolades over her thirty-year career, Eliza has performed and recorded around the world with a diverse array of artists including, Paul Weller, Rufus & Martha Wainwright, Patrick Wolf, and Jarvis Cocker.

Describing herself simply as ‘a modern English musician’, she is one of the most impressive, engaging, and important performers of her generation.

This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
