Performance NotesFolk legends The Waterson Family rarely perform together; this concert brought together members of the family Norma and Mike Waterson, Martin and Eliza Carthy and was intended to celebrate the fortieth anniverary of the original Watersons playing the Hall shortly prior to disbanding in the lates 1960s.

During the course of the evening Eliza Carthy was presented with the prestigious Gold Badge of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

The event was recorded and relased as a DVD.
