One of England’s most revered folk performers, widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players visits Ashburton Arts Centre this weekend

Martin Simpson’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, he 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 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.

Tickets for the gig on Sunday, September 21, can be booked through the website https://ashburtonarts.org.uk/
