Very sad news for folk music fans

What a magnificent artist and legacy. Terribly sad news, RIP.


It’s shocking to me that musicians of the calibre and status of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson aren’t able to live on their royalties. I know folk is more niche but when you think about the bands they’ve been in, if they aren’t living comfortably from their careers then who is.

My thoughts exactly. When someone so revered, at the top of their profession for so long, ends their days having to ask for financial help.....it's just all wrong.
 
Meant to post this link earlier - a folk supergroup. Norma on vocals with:
Dave Mattacks - drums
Danny Thompson - bass
Richard Thompson - guitar
Martin Carthy - guitar
Eliza Carthy - vocals
