Eliza Carthy based links
- The official site, this is maintained by Warner Bros. and will continue to exist - whether it will be updated or not is a different matter though ... Note: this site is currently down.
- webcast of Eliza Carthy Band. This is from the Kennedy Centre, 2001 in DC. Search for 'May 2001', theres a full realplayer gig of the EC band and of Waterson:Carthy!
- Reinhard Zierke's site (formally Garry Gillards). A VERY comprehensive site, with loads of info regarding past and future projects. Garry also has a site for the Watersons & Waterson:Carthy (see below)
- BBC Radio 2's entry on Liza. Not bad, links to the official site, biography. Nice site, main feature is the tour section & the fact that it's regularly updated!
- Assorted interviews. Rather than try to tell you what to read, you're better off searching for your own ... these keep appearing all over the place, so I suggest you follow the link to Google.com and go from there. The recent one from Folking.com is pretty cool - answering a load of questions that you never knew you needed to know. Possibly.
- Topic Records. The main place for buying and finding out about other stuff coming up. Quite a nice site, that's regularly updated.
- John Haxby. John's the guy that designed the Red Rice, Anglicana, Blue Murder, Bright Shiny Morning and The Very Thought of You albums. He's got a rather cool 'virtual' homepage where you can see his other stuff, from Tarras to E2K to Papa & Mama Carthy. Go check it out!
Family based links
- The official family website, maintained by me and Steve Sheldon. THE place to go for copies of the family newsletter, tour dates, family news, gossip, vicious rumour and loads of stuff to download. We've got a reasonably full discography too!
- Reinhards Watersons site, very nice, comprehensive, full of stuff! Also, see his Martin Carthy site.
- BBC Radio 2 Waterson:Carthy site. Couple of tracks for streaming, nice biography.
