ELIZA Carthy – one of the most dazzling and recognised folk musicians of this generation – will appear on stage in Middlesbrough Town Hall's Crypt.
The inventive and innovative singer and fiddle-player, Eliza and her band will take to the stage on Monday at 7.30pm

Winner of two Mercury Prize nominations and innumerable other accolades over a 16-year career, Eliza is a gifted musical conceptualist confirming her position as, arguably, the most impressive and engaging performer of a generation.

Performing songs from her album Dreams of Breathing Underwater, released via Topic Records in 2008, Eliza is accompanied by Willie Molleson on drums, Emma Smith on double bass, Barney Morse-Brown (duotone) and Phil Alexander (salsa celtica) on keyboards/ piano accordion.

Powerful, vital and exuberant rhythms absorbed from her travels around the globe, characterise this highly original, self-penned music in a night not to be missed. Reviews as "one of the figureheads of the English folk revival" by the Evening Standard, Eliza has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists from Paul Weller to The Wainwrights, Billy Bragg, Nick Cave to Joan Baez.

Eliza featured on vocals of 2008's BBC Radio Two folk award-winning track Cold Hailey Rainy Night by the Imagined Village, which picked up the award for best traditional track.

Eliza is also the winner of an unrivalled seven BBC Radio Two folk awards.

In 2003, she became the first traditional English musician to be nominated a BBC Radio Three award for World Music (for Anglicana).

Nominated for singer of the year, best album and best original song for Mr Magnifico in BBC Radio Two folk awards 2009.
