Description

One of England’s most revered folk performers, widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world, Martin's interpretations of traditional songs are masterpieces of storytelling. His remarkable solo shows are intense, eclectic, spellbinding and deeply moving. Martin has been nominated an astounding 32 times in the 18 years of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards - more than any other performer - and has won numerous awards.
Martin's new album, Some Kind of Jubilee, is released in September. 50 years on from his first LP this record captures Martin at his absolute best. Recorded at Jackson Browne’s Groovemaster studio in Santa Monica and completed in Yorkshire. The album weaves together newly written songs, reimagined traditional material, and fresh interpretations of classics from Simpson’s extensive catalogue. No doubt Martin will be playing some of the songs from the album. Do not miss what promises to be a very special night at Mottram.
