Shortcast: Rick Astley fan turned Folk Legend plays our local
Posted by The Word on 15 February 2012 - 6:47pm.
On February 27th Eliza Carthy plays the pub across the road in one of our Word In Your Ear series of live shows. In this special shortcast she tells David Hepworth what kind of music was playing in the house when she was growing up, how she had a thing for Rick Astley and how her boyfriend made her give her Barbies away to the charity shop. Bastard. A few tickets for the show, which features Eliza plus full five piece band, supported by Emily Barker and the Red Clay Halo plus Left With Pictures, are still available.

Not this time, sorry
£26.40 is an awful lot for a pub gig. Last week's Floating Palace show (Robin Hitchcock, Martin & Eliza Carthy, K T Tunstall, Green Gartside et al) at The Barbican was less than that.
It is pricey
Putting large bands in small venues is expensive, simply because there are less people coming through the door to cover the costs. The price is actually as low as we could reasonably make it. We hope that the opportunity to see someone like Eliza at close quarters makes it worthwhile, but I appreciate that the price will put some off.
Not the price...
... I'm going to be away in a cottage in County Durham. Why I'm missing the mingle yet again. Otherwise I'd be there, I love Eliza, seen her live plenty of times and its always worth it.
Roll Call
So I'm fully ticketed-up and will be there. Who else from the Massive?
