Damn, close my eyes and its her mum, wonderful the music of the people.

[spudflap]

Mesmerisingly beautiful. And that accompaniment - he seemed to be following her every word with that guitar, such a connection between them...

[cjacja]

A folk voice is a true voice. No studio trickery. No false accents. Just singing it it’s purest form (and she whistles too!) Eliza Carthy is one of our greatest voices

[toeyen]

That guitar and those chords - only Sir Martin Carthy can produce that sound

[franklinsternberg]

Tears in my eyes - lovely song and lyrics

[Catamariner]

Hope things are going better for you all now. Please keep your many loving fans updated. So wonderful to see and hear Martin! as well as Eliza!

[amangogna]

Great song, amazing singer and guitar player !

[UKCALLING]

First time I heard this when they did this and it’s stayed with me. Beautiful

[southsidejohnny]

That lass just breaks my heart every time she sings: in a good way, obviously. Her ma was the same, just pure love of the music and totally honest communicator.

[sandramorey]

Eliza can sing anything. I am partial to her folk balladry, but her mom before her crossed over into jazz and pop effectively.

[Auldhelm]

its like your at an open mike but the music is transcendent

[frank]

Eliza doing what Eliza does best 'Entertain'

[newsles]

Wow. And to think it all nearly ended because of Covid.

[interested-qd]

I'd just like to say I hope that Liza and Martin are over the worst of the last two tumultuous years.Sorry to hear about all the bad times.

[Wotsitorlabart]

Disappointed that it wasn't their version of Ken Dodd's 1964 hit.
That would have been the ultimate folk/pop crossover.

[paulgeorge]

what tuning is martin using? i've been trying to work this out by ear but straight tuning just doesnt do it

[cathrynreallydoescare]

I just don’t think this song is right for her voice.😢
