Martin Simpson needs little introduction to anyone interested in acoustic music. Unquestionably one of the genre’s most revered musicians, he is equally at home playing English traditional folk, American folk and blues and his own compositions. He is universally acclaimed as a fingerstyle guitarist and slide player and is a fine banjo-picker to boot. In the 18 years of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, he was nominated 32 times, 13 of those as Musician of the Year, winning the accolade twice. Martin’s latest album, _Some Kind of Jubilee_, was released in September 2026. After more than half a century as a professional musician, the album bears witness to an artist at the very top of his game. This show is suitable for ages 14+ and will take place in the First floor Café Bar & Kitchen of the De La Warr Pavilion. There will be no support act for this show, Martin Simpson will perform two sets with an interval.
