Defibrillator Installation at Acapela Studio

With over 40,000 visitors a year now attending concerts and other events at Acapela Studio we have joined with Calon Hearts and installed a defibrillator in the bar!

The health and safety of all visitors is always our primary concern and the installation of the defibrillator we considered of great importance considering the number of people now attending concerts.

As part of the introduction of the new equipment, Dr James Massey a volunteer with Calon Hearts attended a training event for the Acapela team to demonstrate how to use the defibrillator and how to assist with a medical emergency.

Martin and Eliza Carthy Concert 5th April 2026 – Change to concert

Sadly we have been informed recently that Martin will no longer be able to complete his duo tour with Eliza due to ill health. Please see below a message from Eliza.
 
The Carthy family had hoped that the planned tour with Martin, – at the age of 84 – alongside Eliza, would offer a graceful and dignified exit from touring for him: one in which he could celebrate his amazing legacy and leave audiences with fond memories. Sadly, Martin‘s health has rapidly declined in the last few weeks. As such, we have made the incredibly painful decision that Martin will be unable to fulfil these duo bookings.

A message from Eliza Carthy:

“Dear everyone,

 A month ago, Martin, at 84, was diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimers Disease. While his doctor initially suggested that Dad would and should be able to tour in the Spring, and we were hoping to use the tour to say goodbye to Dad’s many fans, it now appears that this won’t be possible or advisable for his health.

Dad sends his love and regrets to everyone hoping to see him one more time. Eliza will fulfil these shows, and will try to honour his legacy as much as possible. Our family thanks you for your patience and love.”

In the wake of Martin Carthy’s unexpected recent retirement, Eliza has drawn together a community of varied and talented musicians, all of whom have played a role in Martin’s outstanding career. These artists will share the stage with Eliza, honouring and celebrating Martin’s immense legacy and musical back catalogue. This includes: Tim Van Eyken, Nick Hart, Jon Wilks, Graham Coxon, Tim Eriksen, Finn Curran Carthy
This evening will present a rolling cast of admirers, colleagues and surprise guests, performing an entirely new set featuring some of Martin’s best loved work from all eras of his career, spanning from his debut to final albums, via Waterson:Carthy and beyond. Martin’s grandson will make his first ever stage appearances, playing one of his grandfather’s guitars.
We do hope that you will show your support to Eliza and the Carthy family by supporting this wonderful event. If you have tickets for this event but do not wish to attend then you are able to request a refund by emailing us on info@acapela.co.uk by the 12th February. After this time our NO REFUND TICKET POLICY will be strictly applied.

The new concert is titled – Eliza Carthy & Special Guests: The Songs of Martin Carthy
