Universally acclaimed as one of the finest ever acoustic and slide guitar players, and a fine banjo-picker to boot, Martin’s solo shows bear witness to an artist at the very top of his game. Whether interpreting material from tradition or singing his own potent self-penned songs, Simpson is a remarkable storyteller: captivating and profoundly moving. He has had the most nominations of any performer in the history of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, being shortlisted an astonishing 32 times, including 13 as Musician of the Year, and h has twice won that particular accolade.
