ELIZA Carthy, one of the most dazzling and recognised folk musicians of her generation, will perform at Buxton Opera House on Tuesday, September 8 at 7.30pm.
Yorkshire-born and now Nottingham-shire-based, Eliza grew up immersed in the world of traditional music.
She divides her time between touring and recording with her legendary parents, Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, and numerous pioneering solo and band projects.
Describing herself simply as a 'modern British musician', Eliza (pictured right) is only just beginning to reach the height of her musical powers.
During a 16-year career she has become one of the most dazzling and recognised folk musicians of a generation, winning an unrivalled seven BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
She has helped revitalise folk music and make it relevant to new audiences and has captured the most hardened of dissenters with intelligent, charismatic and boundary-crossing performances.
Eliza is accompanied on stage by Willie Molleson on drums, Emma Smith on double bass, Barney Morse-Brown (Duotone) and Phil Alexander (Salsa Celtica) on keyboards/piano accordion.
The show starts at 7.30pm.
