Eliza celebrates 30 years of music making
By David Wood | 13th January 2023
2022 marks the 30th career anniversary of outstanding English folk musician Eliza Carthy MBE.
To mark this significant milestone, she will be releasing a new album Queen Of The Whirl with her band The Restitution - featuring re-recordings of some of her 'greatest hits' and audience-favourites from the past 30 years, including songs from her three Mercury Award nominated albums.
Eliza turned pro (or quit college, depending on if you ask her or her dear departed mam) in 1992, and since then 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.
Queen Of The Whirl is her celebration of 30 years of silliness and profundity, with a crack team of musicians made up of her colleagues and counterparts.
Thirty years of music reimagined, from Billy Bragg to Peggy Seeger, from The Ratcatchers to Imagined Village, from bloody boots in Trafalgar Square to the moors of North Yorkshire, and everywhere in between. It's been quite a ride!
Eliza Carthy and the Restitution will be performing at the Watson Hall, Tewkesbury, on Saturday, February 11, at 7.30pm.
