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. Always prolific, and never one to rest long without a guitar in
his hands and a song in his head, Martin Simpson continues to travel the length
and breadth of the UK and beyond giving rapt audiences passion, sorrow, love,
beauty, tragedy and majesty through his remarkable intimate solo
performances.  Martin was 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 is touring to launch his new album “Some Kind
of Jubilee” recorded at Jackson Browne’s studios in Santa Monica and completed
in Yorkshire it features an extraordinary ensemble of collaborators.

For his Upwey concert he’ll be supported by old
friend Jon Wilks, who played and sang for us a couple of years ago.
