Last years Brits declared a pop-friendly facsimile of folk newly fashionable.
But our venerable Waterson-Carthy clan continue plying the family business, unheralded by host James Corden. Siblings Marry Waterson and the guitarist Oliver Knight weave a hybrid of traditional textures and contemporary colours, cousin Eliza Carthy’s occasional fiddle their stark debut’s only adornment.
Mary can do winsome, on the Kathryn Williams co-write Father Us, and strident, – the stoically menstrual Curse The Day is haunted by the blunt Yorkshire harmonies of her mother Lal.
This duo reach beyond folk’s core constituency, dignity intact.
