Martin Simpson and Support
Prepare for an evening with one of England’s most revered folk performers, MARTIN SIMPSON, widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world.
Simpson’s solo shows are intense, eclectic, and deeply moving. His interpretations of traditional songs are celebrated as masterpieces of storytelling, conveying passion, sorrow, love, and tragedy with rare subtlety and honesty. Though a virtuoso player without question, he delivers his diverse material straight from the heart.
The performance will feature material spanning his prolific career, including his latest solo album, _Skydancers_ (released April 2024 on Topic Records), which includes both live and studio recordings. His collaborative work, such as last year’s critically acclaimed album with Thomm Jutz, further showcases his mastery. Nominated an astounding 32 times in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Martin Simpson is a true master of his art.
