Martin Simpson & Andy Cutting – Folk at the NAC

A rare opportunity to see two of Britain’s foremost folk performers playing together. One of the finest guitarists in the world is joined by a technically outstanding melodeon player for this very special concert of folk and more.

Martin Simpson is an English folk singer, guitarist and songwriter. His music reflects a wide variety of influences and styles, rooted in Britain, Ireland, America and beyond. He builds a purposeful, often upbeat voice on a spare picking style. Simpson has appeared solo (21 albums), as a session musician (16 albums), in collaboration (9 albums), in compilations, live, and on performance and instructional DVDs. Between 2002 and 2010, he was awarded multiple honours among the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. We are delighted to welcome back Martin to Folk at the NAC.

Andy Cutting is an English folk musician and composer. He plays melodeon and is best known for writing and performing traditional English folk and his own original compositions which combine English and French traditions with wider influences. He is three times winner of the Folk Musician of the Year award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and has appeared on around 50 albums, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians.

THIS PERFORMANCE WILL BE IN OUR OUTDOOR COVERED STAGE on the New Horizons Stage.
