It was the intellectuals of the 20th century like Percy Granger who collected the English folk songs and then turned them over to the middle class of England. Removing them from there roots. You only have to compare settings of Scottish, Irish and Welsh folk tunes to realise that English Folk was stolen from its home., the working lives, the living villages, towns and city's. Thank you to the likes of Martin for taking them back
You deserve a Knighthood for putting this up. I remember seeing it in 1993; how the time flies. Astonishing that Martin is still performing as regularly as ever and, if anything, is even more enthralling than he was back then.
I still remember, with incredulity and undiminished gratitude,the time when Martin 'loaned' me that little guitar he's playing in the opening club sequences. He'd been staying with us in Perranwell Station, Truro, Cornwall circa 1973/4 and when I invited him to come with me to the Padstow Folk Club, he declined but let me take his guitar! Decameron were guest artistes that night and they were as amazed as I was. Great days.
'A song can do it in 5 minutes' - or maybe even less. I saw Martin Carthy earlier this year at a postponed post-pandemic gig in Bath. Martin's wife Norma and my mum Annie (who grew up in Hertfordshire and Hull ) had died since the concert was booked. Martin was so resilient if that's the right word. A great musician and a great comfort to me at a difficult time. I also agree with Martin's views on English nationalism but that's a different subject!
That man did a benefit gig for Nic Jones at my local folk club some 30-odd years ago, and I was one of a few floor singers who opened for him that night. It was ... unbelievable to be sitting about three feet away from him while he played and sang. The atmosphere was ... indescribable. The only thing that was electric that evening, besides the atmosphere, was a small bulb at the bar near the door to the room. Martin Carthy is right: that sort of thing you cannot get in a 10,000 seater hall.
I really enjoyed the electric stuff in Steeleye Span ... I would never had heard of this music if it were not for Steeleye Span and I still love their music.
I had the very pleasure of meeting Martin along with Norma and Eliza. I also had the great pleasure of spending time with Rod Stradling only now can I fully appreciate it.
Martin Carthy is a treasure. The only time I saw him perform live was in 1979 in a small venue called The Palms in Davis, California. He was wonderful. I was fortunate enough to speak a few words with him, shake his hand and request that he play "Skewball" - which he did!
There's a great disavowing of the seventies here. It seems almost obligatory these days. I love Martin he's a great guitarist. The reason I go to folk clubs is because I like to see good musician ship. I could go to a jazz concert and see the same thing but I wouldn't get the resonance. The seventies wasn't all rubbish but the continuity of folk and blues is still happening.
I first saw Martin and Dave at The MSG in Manchester in the late 60s early 70s. I have followed his career for many years and he is the master of his trade.
So very interesting to a foreigner (Canadian) to get a glimpse of the scene and it's aims and ambitions, so well articulated by Martin Carthy (Billy Bragg as well) a musician of real integrity.
Yeah. Folk Club in the Dolphin on Bank St. Don't know if it's still at the Dolphin, or even if there is still a folk club in the village at all. At that time Martin and his family lived at St Ives Farm on top of the cliffs a mile or so south of RHB.
What a trrasure he is to English Roots i get the impression He only joined Steeleye because his best mate Swarb joined Fairport. in a Ill show yer type move. If only he joined Fairport when Thompson left. they wound of been even better than they were. Believe he was asked to more than once.

He is still one of my favourite interpreters of the great traditional singers.
I once nodded at him shyly at Sheffield train station and he kindly acknowledged me.
3:43 and the whole pub bursts into harmony.
I literally burst into tears.
Thank you all humble people who sing aloud.
What tune was it?
@@SingleMalt77005 "Pleasant and Delightful"
@@kay1barnes Thanks! Now I have been enjoying many other versions as well.
It happened to me also.
Love theses musics

This man is a gem.
Nobody accompanies an English Folk song like Martin Carthy! First noticed it on the 1st Silly Sisters album. What a gem!
had the pleasure of seeing him and dave swarbick in cork, unbelievable show. heard english folk sings i never knew existed

As a Scot, I welcome his English heritage.
Many thanks - and as an Englishman with distant Scottish roots on my father's side, the two are very much appreciated by me!
My hero beautiful
was that bit of the watersons from the olde blue bell in hull ..... I spent many a happy hour up there listening to folk music

Nationalism is so cool! Thanks Martin!

The archetype is not dead, there will be another revival
I always thought that his singing sounded Irish...lovely stuff.
Imagine being called on to sing by Marting Carthy.
Martin's lit me up for going on forty years. He set the bar up about twenty notches. Great video, thanks.
My people. I love you....xxxxxxxx (:-)
truly amazing. i can remember seeing martin for the first time when i was 14 or 15 in dublin ireland. the music left a real impression on me.
excellent. happy to subscribe.
I like the song about history of country or story of one man's whole life include feeling of aggression, love , hatred etc tec.
Brilliant man and guitarist and my mate Wilko agrees.....
Do you remember this? Four nights a week, all on culture.
now we have BBC Pigdin instead.
Are there any fie-hard Martin Carthy-ophiles who happen to know what became of the blue telecaster used here? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Such as never was any
I really liked the distinction he made between simple Englishness, which is rich, and nationalist populism, which is quite a lot of fake sentiment.
Is that Robin Hood's Bay at the beginning?
GBPaddling Yes, that's Robin Hoods Bay (where Martin lives now). I often go to the folk club at the Dolphin on Friday nights.
GBPaddling Yes, that is Robin Hood's Bay
Yeah. Folk Club in the Dolphin on Bank St. Don't know if it's still at the Dolphin, or even if there is still a folk club in the village at all. At that time Martin and his family lived at St Ives Farm on top of the cliffs a mile or so south of RHB.
He'd never accept a knighthood, but no Englishman deserves one more.

Now there’s a thought! Carthy in Fairport! They would have been a very different group, for the better.
