	SRFN Miscellany: Doctor Martin Carthy: degree ceremony oration
		Martin Carthy possesses an unrivalled foundation in the English musical traditions, and has played a seminal role in introducing these materials to new audiences over the past forty years.
		As with many singers of his generation, Martin Carthy was a member of a teenage skiffle group, emulating the folk and bluegrass traditions of America, little appreciating that his native land was just as rich in its own music.
		Martin Carthy, along with many others of his generation, actively participated in debates on disarmament (this was the era of the Aldermaston Marches), peace and social justice.

	Martin Carthy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is a renowned solo performer of traditional songs in a very distinctive style, accompanying himself on his trusty old Martin Guitar; his style is marked by the use of alternate tunings, and a strongly percussive picking style that emphasizes the melody.
		He has sung with The Watersons since 1972, was an early member of the UK folk rock group Steeleye Span, and was part of the innovative Brass Monkey ensemble, which mixed a range of brass instruments with Carthy's guitar and mandolin and John Kirkpatrick's accordion, melodeon and concertina.
		For many years Carthy has enjoyed a creative partnership with fiddle player Dave Swarbrick and, more recently, Waterson:Carthy has provided the forum for a successful partnership with partner Norma Waterson together with their daughter Eliza Carthy.

	Martin Carthy
		Martin Carthy was born 21st May 1940, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England.
		By the mid sixties Martin Carthy was recognised as a virtuoso folk guitarist and was resident at London's top folk club, the Troubadour.
		Martin Carthy has the ability to take a traditional song, adapt it, often with either a new tune or additional words, and say something contemporary and relevant whilst retaining the work's traditional roots.

	Rogue Folk Club - Rogues Gallery - Martin Carthy
		Carthy was duly mentioned in Freewheelin's sleeve notes, and another of the traditional pieces he sang, "Scarborough Fair", served as the template for one of Dylan's most celebrated compositions "Girl from the North Country".
		Carthy - with Davey Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and (a little later) Martin Simpson - was part of a generation of English guitarists who changed the face of folk.
		In the later '60s Carthy formed a highly influential duo with ace fiddler Dave Swarbrick which lasted for several years (and was rekindled 20 years later), and in the early '70s he experimented with electric guitar in the seminal folk-rock groups Steeleye Span and the Albion Country Band.

		Carthy gave Simon his arrangement, chords, and words for the song, and it became the basis for Simon's own version when he returned to the United States.
		In 1965, Carthy was signed to Fontana Records and recorded his debut album Martin Carthy that same year, which contained his arrangement of "Scarborough Fair," and featured contributions from fiddler Dave Swarbrick as a performer and co-arranger.
		From the very first, Carthy's records became songbooks for thousands of lesser performers and less ambitious would-be folk musicians -- he literally was the Bob Dylan of the English folk revival, without the feigned anger or the affectations, but with all of the skill and depth.

		Carthy and Swarbrick celebrated their 1990 reunion by adding many new songs and tunes to their repertoire as well as taking a fresh look at old favourites like Sovay and Byker Hill.
		Carthy draws tunes from Quebec, Brittany and Mozart, songs from Leon Rosselson and Mike Waterson and poems from e.e.cummings and an anonymous 17th-century pamphleteer into a surprising but successful union of old and new, traditional and individual.
		Carthy and Swarbrick continue their bold and virtuosic transformation of traditional songs and melodies on this 1968 set, adding a memorable treatment of Sidney Carter's Lord of the Dance.

		Martin's as careful a listener as he is a speaker, and so when we asked if he'd mind spelling a bit of his background for readers of our publication, he obligingly agreed to do so.
		Martin: I was born in Hatfield, in a hospital that was evacuated out of London, and we were evacuated a couple of times.
		Martin: and when the skiffle bubble burst, I just carried on playing the guitar, and drifted into the folk music scene, which was at that time rather small.

		Martin Carthy is one of the giants of contemporary British music.
		Like thousands of others in the 1950's, Martin was hugely affected by hearing Lonnie Donegan sing "The Rock Island Line." He started to sneak off with his father's guitar disguised as a trombone, which, with unparalleled lack of success, he was then studying.
		By then Martin was working alongside his wife and daughter, Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy (both Mercury Music Prize nominees and successful artists in their own right) as Waterson:Carthy.

		With Carthy on guitar and Wood and Wilson on fiddle (Wilson occasionally laid aside his fiddle for a guitar or mandolin), the men launched into that casual sliding march style that is so characteristic of Carthy.
		Carthy's version of "Wife of Usher's Well" was unique in that he set the traditional lyrics to a Basque tune; it had a slow, yet magical sounding, pace.
		Carthy's detailed stories and song introductions are a highlight of his live shows, and his prologue to this song was no exception.

	CD Review: Martin Carthy - Folk Music
		Mainstream journalists have attemped to put Martin Carthy's importance in context by citing his influence on Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in the '60s, and his participation in electric folk in the '70's.
		You are, I am sure, well aware of what a fine singer he is, and of the care and attention he pays to all the details of his art, and of his passion for the tradition, and the many hours spent in study, interpretation and invention.
		Carthy is a charismatic solo performer who has continually allied himself with fellow musicians, and often in a backing role.

	FLUXEUROPA: MARTIN CARTHY
		It was a sacrilege, because for myself and my school-friends, Martin Carthy was the leading exponent of the traditional folk revival, albeit modest and unassuming as most folkies are.
		Martin has a good voice of even quality, with an appropriate but gentle rural twang and occasional decorations (the "wobbly bits").
		Martin's style of finger-picking, however, is clever and generally sympathetic to the melodies, although the guitar accompaniment on 'Scarbough Fair' sounds a little odd to my ears.

		Martin Carthy is from a long line of traditional folksingers, but his work has a liveliness and complexity that defies its simple instrumentation (actually, I hesitate to call his fine guitar work "simple" as he's an impressive musician).
		He is a former member of several groups, including Steeleye Span and The Watersons, and also currently tours with his wife Norma Waterson and daughter Eliza Carthy as Waterson:Carthy, but he also frequently tours and records solo or with fiddle player Dave Swarbrick.
