The Stoller HallA matinee show from Chetham’s Big Band and jazz ensembles.
Describing herself simply as a “modern English musician”, Eliza Carthy is one of the one of the most recognisable faces of the English folk revival and one of the most impressive and engaging performers of her generation.
In her illustrious 30-year career, Eliza Carthy has earned an MBE, two Mercury Prize nominations and a plethora of other accolades. She has toured all over the world; danced with Hugh Masekele in Ghana; crossed the Prairies, the Alps, and the waters of Lake Titicaca, all for the sake of playing the fiddle and spreading the word of English traditional music
Her touring band, The Restitution, is a dynamic force of contemporary folk musicians, featuring Dave Delarre (guitars), Ben Seal (bass), Phil Alexander (piano), and Willy Molleson (drums), and together, they create an exciting and captivating musical experience.
Eliza Carthy and The Restitution are delighted to announce new dates this Winter to coincide with the re-release of Through That Sound (My Secret Was Made Known), Eliza’s highly-acclaimed ‘lost in lockdown’ album co-written with Fife-Based producer Ben Seal.
It promises to be immense and emotional! Come and see!
