Martin Carthy has remained one of the most influential figures in British traditional music, inspiring contemporaries such as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, and later artists such as Richard Thompson, since he emerged as a young musician in the early days of the folk revival in the UK during the 1960s and 1970s.

Eliza Carthy describes herself simply as a "modern English musician." Noted as a singer and fiddler, she is also at home on many other instruments. During a 25+-year journey/career, she has become one of the most dazzling and recognized folk musicians of a generation. She has revitalised and made folk music relevant to new audiences and has captured the most hardened of dissenters with canny, charismatic, and boundary-crossing performances. Many of the current crop of young professional folk musicians owe their successes in part to her determination, standard-bearing, and campaigning spirit. Yorkshire-born and based in Edinburgh since 1997, Eliza Carthy grew up immersed in the world of traditional English music.
