The Watersons were an English
folk group, formed in
1964, at the beginning of the
British folk revival. Norma, Lal and
Mike Waterson (brother and sisters) teamed with
John Harrison (a cousin) to sing and play, tour and record, in the
traditional folk style. Two years later, John left the band, to be replaced by guitarist
Martin Carthy, although they disbanded between
1968 and
1972, the same year Martin and Norma married.
