Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy have been leading figures in the
folk revival since the early 1960s. Carthy's remarkable and
influential career has been celebrated with an MBE and various BBC
Radio 2 music awards including Folk Singer of the Year 2005. He is
one of the most admired and best loved figures in the movement and
was the subject of a BBC documentary. Norma, also awarded an MBE
for services to English Music and fellow recipient of BBC Radio 2
Awards, is one of the country's finest, most emotive singers with
her wonderfully compassionate voice.
Chris Parkinson has played music since the age of five, starting
with the harmonica, and moving on to piano, guitar, concertina, tin
whistle, melodeon, piano accordion and keyboards, and even a little
time playing the fiddle. He plays traditional folk music of UK,
Europe and beyond, and is also no mean hand at blues, rock and roll
and even a bit of jazz. February 2006 saw a somewhat historic
milestone, it was just 50 years since Chris first played harmonica
on stage.
