Martin Stephenson and The Daintees make a welcome return to the Wirral with an acoustic trio performance at Thornton Hough Village Club. Martin Stephenson began his career as a busker aged 15. He then spent three years plying his trade as the guitar player in various bands in the North East of England . But Martin wanted more, he wanted to tell stories of his own and he was quickly developing ways of doing just that.
He developed his song-writing technique by learning a few licks from a Spanish guitar book and repeated the process with Folk, Jazz, Blues, Country, Skiffle, Reggae etc. Eventually, this glorious collision of styles would become the trademark which Martin has carried throughout his career..
Martin formed his band The Daintees in 1982. They became busking sensations and were signed by Kitchenware at around the same time as Prefab Sprout. The band, and indeed Martin, have always been known for their incredible range of styles, each album covering a multitude of genres, tempos and moods. The Daintees went on to release four critically acclaimed albums between 1986 & 1992; Boat To Bolivia, Gladsome Humour and Blue, Salutation Road, and The Boys Heart.
Plus support from two time Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge winner Mike Ryan.
