SUMMARY:Taffy Thomas/Eliza Carthy
LOCATION:Alder Bar
DESCRIPTION:Storyteller Taffy Thomas founded and directed the community ar
 ts company\, Charivari\, with their popular touring unit\, the Fabulous Sa
 lami Brothers\, which he fronted and performed in. After a major stroke at
  the age of 36 Taffy turned back to story telling as self-imposed speech t
 herapy\, which turned into a new career. Taffy has a repertoire of more th
 an 300 stories\, collected mainly from traditional oral sources\, which he
  is happy to tell in almost any situation. This repertoire was built by me
 eting and working with virtually all the great traditional storytellers wh
 o were alive in Britain. He is now the most experienced English storytelle
 r\, having performed in many countries on four continents. He is currently
  artistic director of Tales in Trust\, the Northern Centre for Storytellin
 g\, based at The Storyteller's Garden in Grasmere. In the 2001 New Year Ho
 nours List he was awarded the MBE for services to storytelling and charity
  and performed a new collaboration for the Blue Peter Prom at the Royal Al
 bert Hall. With Taffy's head bursting with with over 300 stories\, plus ri
 ddles and folklore\, professional storyteller Giles Abbot once commented\,
  "when Taffy goes it will be like a library burning down." We are incredib
 ly pleased to have Taffy with us for a special solo performance. Describin
 g herself simply as a ‘modern English musician’\, Eliza Carthy is one 
 of the most recognisable faces in British folk. She has received an MBE\; 
 numerous BBC R2 Folk Awards\; two Mercury Prize nominations\; was the firs
 t English traditional musician to be nominated for a BBC R3 Award for Worl
 d Music\, and in 2021 became President of the English Folk Dance & Song So
 ciety. Born into a formidable musical dynasty\, her mother Norma was one o
 f The Watersons and her father Martin Carthy is a hugely influential singe
 r and guitarist\, the incredible range of traditional and contemporary mus
 icians who were part of the extended Waterson/Carthy world helped her deve
 lop her own unique approach to music. Eliza and her family were mainstays 
 of the original Musical Traditions Club\, and we are delighted to welcome 
 her to our new format.\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/event/696444
