Martin Carthy - legendary ballad singer, groundbreaking acoustic and electric guitarist, and authoritative interpreter of newly composed material - joins us for a special birthday concert at Queen Elizabeth Hall. Carthy's settings of traditional songs with guitar have influenced a generation of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, on both sides of the Atlantic.
