Nice little piece on #MartinCarthy, a bona fida member of British Folk music royalty, & an influence on the likes of Bob Dylan & Paul Simon. Was so privileged to see him perform in Robin Hood’s Bay recently. https://t.co/f9iLpwYtsy Musicians Only March 22nd 1980

So much love in the room for #MartinCarthy today. What a way to start the year for me! #ScarboroughFair. I first saw @elizacarthy perform over 30 yrs ago. Today at the @BarbicanCentre with an excellent lineup including #NeillMacColl, she was breathtakingly magnificent. ♥️

What amazing evening yesterday - 5+ hrs! - with Life & Songs of #MartinCarthy presented by so many famous names. Only Martin’s immense contribution to folk & skill of #JonWilkes & team could get so many top artists together - too many to list! Just few in this ‘pub stage’ picture

#MartinCarthy

A wealth of options here, so I choose to see #MartinCarthy at the Three Horseshoes, @myMotorhead at the Music Machine #RaviShankar at the Woolwich Odeon, the @davidcoverdale band in Basingstoke & @direstraitshq at the Marquee for 70p @ragaravishankar Melody Maker Mar 11th 1978

Off to see @elizacarthy’s Daddy at the @ivyhousenunhead @TheGooseIsOut tonight for the umpteenth time in my short and handsome life and let me tell you I cannot wait #tradfolk #FolkMusic #MartinCarthy

Seeing as it’s my good chum Martin Carthy’s 83rd birthday, I suppose I’ll have to have a drink… 🍻 #MartinCarthy

What do you get the #MartinCarthy fan who has everything? According to Elliot at Wall of Sound Records in Leeds, it’s this set of @TopicRecords badges originally from David Suff’s collection. Thanks for the gift Elliot, I’ll wear them with pride (in private, obvs!) #CarthyArchive

It’s been a whole year since I bought a copy of Shearwater. Must try harder! #MartinCarthy #CarthyArchive
