The Georgian Theatre adds another feather to its cap with the booking of acclaimed guitar maestro and songwriter Martin Simpson for the launch of its Georgian Folk Season.

Martin Simpson is a jewel in the crown of traditional music and a stellar performer on the international stage winning numerous BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards over the years including carrying off two awards for Best Album and Best Original Song at this year’s awards.

During a career spanning over three decades he has played with the likes of Martin Carthy, June Tabor and Jackson Browne and is a firm favourite on the national and international folk circuit. Recent appearances on Later with Jools Holland and guest spots on BBC Radio 2’s Aled Jones Good Morning Sunday and Mike Harding’s Celtic Connections special suggest that Martin is reaching another career high.

In support we have rising local stars Cath and Phil Tyler who have just released their debut album Dumb Supper on local No-Fi label. Cath & Phil’s music beautifully blends the hard edged traditions of primitive Americana and English folk, using guitar, banjo, fiddle and more, all topped with their searing vocals and sublime harmonies. The album has been extremely well received with ecstatic on-air praise from the likes of Mike Harding and Bob Harris. Opening will be popular local singer songwriter Colin Holt.

Look out for further highlights of the Georgian Folk series over the coming months including Michael Chapman on Friday 13th June and Dick Gaughan on Saturday 20th September.
