Eliza Carthy MBE should by now need no introduction. A multi-award winning singer, songwriter and musician from a formidable English music dynasty.
Describing herself simply as a “modern English musician”, Eliza Carthy herself is one of the most recognisable faces of the English folk revival. Her first “solo” album of traditional music in 14 years, 2020’s Restitute is literally a homely affair, recorded as it was at Eliza’s home in the picturesque Robin Hood’s Bay, North Yorkshire.
The touring Restitution band comprises Eliza Carthy, Ben Seal, Phil Alexander, Willy Molleson and David Delarre – with a support slot and a special guest appearance from Saul Rose.
In addition to material from Restitute, the band will perform songs from the band’s forthcoming album Through That Sound My Secret Was Made Known featuring original songs by Eliza Carthy & Ben Seal.
