English folk musical legend. Deserves to be better known. Thank you.

Thanks so much for showing this. Martin is a real gentleman. Saw him perform solo, with Dave Swarbrick and later with his wife, daughter and a box player in New Zealand. I was over in Uk in 1986 with my wife. We were spending a weekend at the Beverly folk festival, and were crossing a square when Martin came towards with his big smile to say hallo.

With all due respect to Martin Carthy: who in their right minds would want to be a member of a non-existent "empire"?

Speaking of the 60 thousand who died at Waterloo, and Martin’s evident disgust with Wellington - if the British hadn’t fought - and won - that battle, much of the tradition he loves, including the music, could well have disappeared. He could well be speaking French today, never knowing what he had lost.
@ElizaCarthy12 ай бұрын
He does speak French 😅… But in all seriousness, would we take Napoleon over the mad King George and the disgraceful way he treated the Northern poor in particular? The vagrancy laws specifically designed to wipe off the streets the very injured soldiers that won Waterloo for him? Yes. The British poor would have taken Napoleon in a heartbeat over those horrific people, and we would simply have different folk music.

Just found this recently. Thanks to whoever is responsible. It has special meaning to me because I'm trying to play folk music and also to understand what it is, really. There is some considerable dispute and discussion. For my part, I think what he says about it being "dangerous" in several ways, and "getting your hands dirty" means a lot to me. I believe he is correct. (starting around 21:40 through 30:00 or so)
