Marry Waterson

This coming January Scarborough Spa Theatre hosts a unique event celebrating the “grande dame” of British folk music Norma Waterson MBE along with the extended Waterson/Carthy dynasty and some very special friends and guests.

Two Wolves is a superb album, one of the year’s best, with each of its songs brimming with nuance and depth. Although covering some deeply personal subjects, Marry’s skills as a singer, lyricist and, above all, a story-teller bring a very human touch, enabling the songs to maintain their focus and intensity without overwhelming the listener.
