But Eliza and Saul's influences aren't strictly tied to folk music. I don't think you can consciously do that. According to Martin Carthy, influences can be a tricky thing to figure out. And that does change the music that we make, because there's a big age difference between me and my parents. That's what Saul brings to the group as well.
Young blood is bound to be different.
And it's not just Eliza who's seen her playing change with the addition of Saul Rose. A seasoned veteran like Martin has also been affected. In order to do that, I had to practice an awful lot more that I had ever done before. And that can be nothing but good. As is usually the case with family musical groups, the idea of Norma and Martin performing with Eliza happened by accident.
