Eliza & Martin Carthy
Concert at 144 Cedar Street, Corning
In the red-brick UM Church--door on First St.

Eliza and Martin Carthy May Day celebration concert at Valley Folk Music Society in Corning

Martin Carthy – the "Pete Seeger of England" – and his daughter Eliza are giants of English folk music, both having been honored by the Queen with MBEs in recognition of their cultural contributions.

As young performers, Norma Waterson (Eliza's now deceased mother) and Martin immersed themselves in their native traditional music. They fueled the folk revival, performing at festivals and in folk clubs with relatives of Norma as Waterson/Carthy. A former member of Steeleye Span, Carthy nurtured Bob Dylan and taught Scarborough Fair to Paul Simon. He's a ballad singer, a ground-breaking acoustic and electric guitarist and an authoritative interpreter of song. This is a very rare appearance in Corning NY!

Eliza is one of the most recognizable faces in British folk. She has received numerous BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and in 2021 she became President of the English Folk Dance & Song Society.

Launching head-on into the UK folk scene in the early 90s, Eliza quickly became one of its great innovators. From the purest unaccompanied traditional songs to original music incorporating myriad influences, she has moved through English folk music like a force of nature, stirring it up and putting it back on the map. As a member of big groups The Imagined Village and The Wayward Band she has headlined at festivals around the world. In 2022 she celebrated 30 years in the music business with "Queen Of The Whirl", featuring new interpretations of fan-selected favorites from her previous albums, recorded with her band Eliza Carthy & The Restitution.

This project is made possible in part by the QuickARTS grant program administered by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes and funded by the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc.

There is a self-running jam on concert nights beginning 90 minutes before each concert when we get in the building to set up. Bring your instrument and come jam and sing with us.

Button enthusiasts from across the state will gather in Binghamton on May 2 - 4 for our annual meeting featuring an impress Exhibition of rare and antique buttons, educational presentations and a marketplace with an extensive selection of buttons for sale.
