The Wayward Band

The Wayward Music group was initially formed in 2013 by folk artist Eliza Carthy to tour her career-spanning collection The Wayward Daughter. The vocalist/songwriter were able to draw together a few of the most significant names from the U.K.’s folk picture to make in the music group. The ensemble included Sam Sweeny (Bellowhead) on fiddle, David Delarre (Mawkin) on electric guitar, Willy Molleson (Peatbog Fearies) on drums, and Barn Stradling (Blowzabella) on bass. Carrying out a effective tour that noticed them swiftly become celebration favorites, Carthy as well as the group go about documenting an record. In 2016 Big Machine premiered, a series that showcased an array of traditional music. The record included traditional ballads alongside modern folk music, including Carthy’s self-penned “YOU UNDERSTAND Me.”
