Martyn Joseph is a completely unique and mind-blowing artist. Take everything you think you know about singer songwriters and rip it up. For one man and a guitar, he creates a performance with a huge far-reaching sound that is energetic, compelling, and passionate.
Martyn is gifted with the rare ability to speak to the soul with his expressive and poignant lyrics. He has a career spanning over 40 years, 27 studio albums, over a half a million record sales and thousands of live performances. Be it to two hundred people or twenty thousand, he blows the crowd away night after night.
His critically acclaimed 2021 record, “1960” was made Folk Album of The Month in Mojo and awarded 4 starts by Uncut, and remained in the UK Official Folk Albums Chart for much of 2022. In April 2019 he won a “Wales Folk Award” for “Here Come the Young”, and in 2023 he was nominated for Best Solo Artist.
2023 started with Martyn being part of BBC Radio 2’s “21st Century Folk “ project, with his song “Albert’s Place” and included appearances on BBC Breakfast TV, the Jeremy Vine and Ken Bruce shows on BBC Radio 2 along with Radio 4’s World at One. 2024 kicked off with the release of a new studio album, “This Is What I Want To Say” and was followed by tours across the UK, Mainland Europe and North America.
A unique talent driven by passion, social awareness, and love for his trade, Martyn is a jaw-dropping guitarist who has developed a unique percussive style, teamed up with a powerful show-stopping voice, and has been called “The Welsh Springsteen”
“One of acoustic music’s most original voices, and most forward looking of his generation of singer/songwriters” - Q Magazine
