Eliza Carthy has been
appointed as Folkworks Artistic Associate commencing April 2014. Eliza will build on the achievements of the Northumbrian piper Kathryn Tickell who steps down in September 2013. Her role will be to develop musical projects as part of Sage Gateshead’s existing programme in folk and related music, bringing to the post her extensive range of contacts and collaborators nationally and internationally. This is the first of a series of two year Folkworks Artistic Associate appointments which Sage Gateshead felt would offer a wider range of folk artists the opportunity to work with them rather than a long term ‘Director’ role.
The Full English, the major EFDSS project bringing together 11 major collections (Harry Albino, Lucy Broadwood, Clive Carey, Percy Grainger, Maud Karpeles, Frank Kidson, Thomas Fairman Ordish, Cecil Sharp, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Alfred Williams and Mary Leather) for the first time in the most comprehensive free searchable digital archive in the world, is launched on 20th June at Cecil Sharp House. Fay Hield has been commissioned to create new work, arrangements and a full concert performance piece to commemorate the event. Fay, Seth Lakeman, Martin Simpson, Nancy Kerr, Sam Sweeney, Rob Harbron and Ben Nicholls will play new music and arrangements inspired by material she has found within The Full English archive.
