The Waterson Family

The Waterson Family have been ambassadors for British folk music for almost half a century. The familiar core members of Waterson:Carthy ; Norma Waterson, Martin Carthy and Eliza Carthy are joined by Mike Waterson, Mike’s daughters Rachel and Eleanor, his wife Ann, and Oliver Knight and Maria Gilhooley; the son and daughter of the much missed Lal Waterson.

Waterson: Carthy continue to tour, Eliza has her own five piece band, Martin, Norma and Mike tour with Peggy Seeger and Norma and Martin tour with Chris Parkinson. Martin and Eliza are core members of The Imagined Village and Martin continues to travel the country as one of the country’s most in demand solo performers.

This, though is a rare chance to see them all together united on stage for special events and festivals – truly a Mighty River of Song.
