Eliza Carthy and special guests to bring The Songs of Martin Carthy to Ireland

Eliza Carthy has announced a three-part series of special tribute concerts in Ireland dedicated to her father Martin Carthy in Letterkenny on April 9, Greystones on April 10, and Dublin’s Whelan’s on April 12.

Accompanied by guests Tim Van Eyken, Tim Eriksen, Jennifer Reid and Finn Curran Carthy, the folk musician will offer renditions from her father’s career-spanning musical catalogue.

The shows come in the wake of Martin Carthy’s unexpected recent retirement, and aims to honour his outstanding career accompanied by long-time collaborators.
