This month Topic Records are happy to celebrate the Birthdays of three leading ladies within the Topic stable of artists.
Norma Waterson, (15th August) is one of the original founding members of the highly regarded folk group The Watersons. Formed in the early 1960’s the band went on to release their first album and highly acclaimed 'Frost And Fire' in 1965 which was awarded album of the year by Melody Maker newspaper. Norma has continued to record and perform both within the different incarnations of the Watersons, Waterson:Carthy group, as well as with her daughter Eliza Carthy who too shares a birthday in the same month as her mother.
Eliza Carthy, (23rd August) is as well -known as her mother having grown up in one of Folk’s great family dynasty’s. It was inevitable the gift of music would transfer from mother to daughter and following many successful solo albums such as ‘Heat, Light & Sound’ and ‘Rice’ an album titled ‘Gift’ was released to critical acclaim and featured mother and daughter performing together.
Last but not least celebrating a birthday in August is Linda Thompson, (23rd August) who became one of the most recognised names and voices in the British folk rock movement of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Performing, recording and releasing 6 records with her then husband and fellow British folk rock musician, guitarist Richard Thompson, Linda would go onto recording and releasing solo albums, the most successful being 2013’s ‘Won’t Be Long Now’.
