Winner of two Nationwide Mercury Prize nominations, Eliza Carty has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists including Paul Weller, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Nick Cave and Joan Baez. Eliza is also one of the key figures to have revitalised interest in traditional folk music in recent years, capturing even the most hardened of dissenters with her intelligent, charismatic and boundary-crossing performances. Her latest album Neptune has received rave reviews
"This is a self-penned affair that proves she’s much more than just a great interpreter of old standards. Here she emerges as a consummate songwriter in her own name." (BBC on Neptune - Read the full review here)
"A second coming for the saviour of British folk " (Major interview in The Independent on the eve of the release of Neptune)
