Martin Carthy is the debut solo album by English folk musician Martin Carthy, originally released in 1965 by Fontana Records and later re-issued by Topic Records. The album features Dave Swarbrick playing fiddle or mandolin on a number of the tracks. Swarbrick was not headlined on the album for contractual reasons[1] as he was with the Ian Campbell Folk Group at the time with permission granted by Transatlantic Records.

The song notes on the album are written by Martin with Ian Campbell writing the introduction.

All the tracks are Traditional except "Springhill Mine Disaster" which was written by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger following the 1958 disaster and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" which was written by Robert Dwyer Joyce. - Wikipedia

Well Damn. A friend just alerted me that #LesBarker has passed on. He wrote both comedic and serious poems, occasionally recruiting musicians such as #MartinCarthy and #JuneTabor to perform his work.
