Martin Simpson in Yorkshire

[ken1953clark]

Not strictly blues but a fine guitarist any way you want to cut it.

Martin Simpson and his trio (with Andy Cutting and Andy Seward) are doing a gig next Sunday (13th June) at Hepworth Parish Church as part of the Holmfirth Arts Festival.

Holmfirth Tourist Information Centre (01484 222444) have a few tickets left if anyone is interested.

When I saw Jackson Browne in Sheffield last night he said that he and David Lindley had spent the afternoon at Martin Simpson's home in Sheffield. He plugged Martin's forthcoming Sheffield gig and described him as a truly unique guitarist.

There's a poster on display around Sheffield for Simpson's up coming gig at The Boardwalk which shows him looking cool and moody with a banjo around his neck (!). Yes, I know he's a superb banjo player but unfortunately the pic is the wrong way round: LH banjo, Martin's wedding ring on his right hand etc.

You just can't get the staff...

Cheerily,
