After a few months in and around the studio at their house in the Borders (Bamboo Byre Studios), Eliza, Ben, John and Jon have created their next masterpiece! Entitled “Rough Music”, it’s going to be found under the “Eliza Carthy and the Ratcatchers” section in your CD shop soon. There’s one new tune on this, a cover of a Billy Bragg number, and the rest are re-worked traditional tunes and songs. Eliza mentions that there’s also a trombone player making suspicious noises on the abum (courtesty of Laura McDonald from Edinburgh) – this should be available before the tour with Sharon Shannon starts. Speaking of which ….

It’s a long term project though – don’t be expecting it any time soon!Liza to Wed?Vicious rumours are circulating of Liza getting hitched to Damon Albern. Apparantly there was a punch-up to decide who was getting to be the official bridesmaids, and the last two standing were George Cluny and Ozzy Osbourne. For some reason which dispells belief, Brian Ferry (not Martin Carthy), is to give Liza away. Oh, and Bad Manners are playing the reception. Possibly.New Official WebsiteOk, I admit it's been pretty quiet here of late. That's partially due to Liza having a suspiciously busy year off, but we've also written a new Official web presence for Waterson:Carthy and all of it's members.
