MARTIN SIMPSON & THE BOARDWALK ALL STARS Thurs 24th June Boardwalk

[jazzamatazz]

Thursday 24th June

Bright Phoebus Presents

 

Widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world, there is no doubt that after 35 years as a professional musician Martin is, right now, better than ever. There is no-one who has more successfully combined the diverse elements of British, Afro-American and old-timey music than Simpson. In addition his own songwriting has produced some real gems, from the truck-stop epic, “Love Never Dies” to the profoundly moving “Never Any Good”. Martin has won 6 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and been nominated a record 23 times, with 9 consecutive years as nominee for Musician of The Year, which he has won twice. Tonight he is joined by the sublime talents of Andy Cutting on melodeon, Andy Seward on bass and Keith Angel on drums. Expect electric playing of everything from funky blues to moving ballads, from one of the finest groups of musicians on the acoustic scene.
