The Watersons

The Watersons were an English folk group from Hull in Yorkshire , England . They brought mainly traditional songs with little or no supervision.

The original members were Norma Waterson, Mike Waterson, Lal Waterson, with their cousin John Harrison of Kingston High School .

Their first album was Frost and Fire in 1965 followed by The Watersons and A Yorkshire Garland in 1966. The Watersons ceased to exist in 1968 when Norma worked as a disc jockey at the radio station Montserrat .

The group was reformed in 1972 while John Harrison recently was replaced by Bernie Vickers. In turn, he was replaced by Martin Carthy . Today, there Waterson: Carthy, a successful collaboration between Martin Carthy and his partner Norma Waterson and their daughter Eliza Carthy. ==Discography   ==
