MARTIN
SIMPSON

'What’s it like being the best
guitar player in the world?'
Martin’s modest nature
prevented him from
answering this BBC Radio 4
interviewer’s question
recently, but the facts speak
for themselves.
40 years on from releasing
his debut album, Martin is
listed in Gibson Guitars’ Top
30 Acoustic Guitarists of all
time, and Acoustic Guitar
readers voted him number
12 guitarist in the world in
2005.
He’s also had the most
nominations of any
performer in the history of
the BBC Folk Awards, an
astonishing 32 of which 13
were for Musician of the
Year.
Performing with rare
subtlety, intensity and
honesty, Martin is a true
master of his art.
