At Home with Eliza Carthy

Episode 10 of 20

Verity Sharp hosts a series of conversations and solo performances recorded by musicians at home. For this episode, it鈥檚 the turn of North Yorkshire鈥檚 Eliza Carthy.

With summer touring schedules on hold and festivals cancelled, songwriters continue to look to their own four walls for inspiration. How are they coping without live audiences? And is this period of restricted movement, stifling or stirring creativity? From her garage studio in Wiltshire, Verity Sharp is dialling up musicians who are rooted in global traditions, exercising their home-recording skills, and asking them to share songs that reflect how they are feeling. In this episode, from her home in Robin Hood鈥檚 Bay in North Yorkshire, Eliza Carthy sings a timely song.

Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.
