Folkroom Presents: Martin Simpson

About this event

Martin Simpson is widely recognised as one of the finest fingerstyle guitar players in the world. With a career spanning four decades since his debut album in 1976, Simpson has established himself as a master of English traditional folk, American folk, blues, and his own compositions.

Simpson's solo performances showcase his exceptional ability to convey emotion and narrative through his playing. Whether interpreting traditional material or performing his own carefully crafted songs, he demonstrates rare subtlety and intensity. His work has earned him 32 nominations at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, including two wins for Musician of the Year.

This intimate evening at Peggy's Skylight offers an opportunity to experience Simpson's artistry firsthand. The performance features two sets with an interval. Doors open at 6pm, with the performance beginning at 7pm. Food is available for separate purchase.
