Martin Simpson – A Master of His Art
Intimate solo performances from a master guitarist
Chapel Arts Centre
MENU“Martin is in a class of his own. He is such an expressive player; he is ingenious in his use of the guitar. You can listen to one of his songs and three or four minutes in, he has only used the top four strings and not even played a bass note yet, and when he does, it feels like an orchestra coming in. His clarity of playing is just amazing.” Jackson Browne “One of the virtuoso instrumentalists of the English music scene”
‘Sounds better than ever’ **** The Guardian
“Simpson has become a fine interpreter of traditional and other songs, as well as a notable writer of his own.” The Times

‘One of our finest traditional musicians, Simpson’s latest album offers a roving overview of his talents’ **** Uncut
‘An excellent collection of material drawn from both sides of the Atlantic handled with loving care by Simpson and aided by some of the biggest names in folk’ **** Maverick
