\nRegrettabl y\, we have had to postpone again to October 2021. All tickets are still v alid for the new date once it has been confirmed.
\nAward w inning Jazz guitarist MARTIN TAYLOR teams up with acoustic and slide guita r virtuoso MARTIN SIMPSON. The pair shares the stage throughout the perfor mance – adding to each other’s songs and instrumental pieces\, taking them to sublime new heights. Martin Taylor was name-checked on BBC Radio 2’s B reakfast Show as being considered THE best guitarist by no less than Jeff Beck – leading to a live session on the show the next morning. Completely self taught\, he has enjoyed a remarkable musical career spanning across f our decades and during that time has invented and developed a way of playi ng the guitar that is admired\, and often imitated\, by guitarists all ove r the world. As well as being a true guitar innovator\, he is also a maste r concert performer\, dazzling audiences with his solo shows\, which combi ne virtuosity\, emotion and humour\, with a strong stage presence. He spen ds much of the year travelling the world\, playing in concert halls in Eur ope\, North America\, Japan\, Asia\, and Australasia.

is solo concerts and recordings\, he has also collaborated with musiciansf
rom many different musical genre including\, Stephane Grappelli\, Chet Atk

erfel and Jamie
\nCullum. In 2002\,he was appointed MBE “For Services
To Jazz Music”\, in The Queen’sBirthday Honours List\, which he received
personally from Her Majesty The Queen at aninvestiture at Buckingham Palac
e.
There is no doubt that after 35 years as a professional musicia n Martin Simpson is\, right now\, better than ever. Widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world\, his in terpretations of traditional songs are masterpieces of storytelling. His s olo shows are intense\, eclectic\, spellbinding and deeply moving. Martin has been nominated an astounding 23 times in the eleven years of the BBC R adio 2 Folk Awards – more than any other performer – with 9 consecutive ye ars as nominee for Musician of The Year\, which he has won twice.
\n2008 saw an incredible 5 nominations for "\;Prodigal Son’ and 2 wins\, whilst in 2010 he had an unprecedented 6 nominations for his CD\, "\; True Stories"\; and a win for Best Traditional Track\, "\;Sir Patr ick Spens"\;. Whether playing American old-time music\, blues\, a Dyla n song or his own material\, Martin Simpson is unpredictable\, individual and a guitarist of immense subtlety.
