Carthy, Oates, Farrell are musicians Eliza Carthy, Jackie Oates, Lucy Farrell and occasionally Kate Young.

"Each a brilliant and distinctive singer, they form a stunning vocal quartet. Each also a master fiddle player, they are a mighty string ensemble. Delivering material from Laylam, the album recorded with Bella Hardy as Carthy, Hardy, Farrell and Young, as well as solo numbers, their set is a brilliant and inspiring measure of the quality of British roots music."
