"Arguably the finest finger-style acoustic guitarist
on the planet" is how Martin Simpson was described by the Chicago
Tribune.
They are not alone in heaping praise on this
critically acclaimed English folk singer and guitarist and Electric Voices is
delighted to be presenting him in concert for the eighth time at Guildford's
Electric Theatre at 8.00pm on Friday 6th July.
This visit will coincide with the release of his
latest album on the Topic label which almost certainly means that the concert
will feature Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927", traditional songs "The Granemore
Hare" and "Little Musgrave", Leadbelly's "Duncan Brady" and Martin's beautiful
arrangement of the hymn "When A Knight Won His Spurs".
The Martin Simpson concert is always the high point
of the Electric Voices season and the riverside setting of the Electric
Theatre makes it an evening to savour.

"Martin's unique and awesome technique on slide
guitar .... all quite stunning."
