| "Welsh Springsteen" Returns To Worcester  Martyn Joseph, "The Welsh Springsteen", will perform at the Huntingdon Hall, Worcester, UK on Sunday 18th March. Those who saw Martyn as special guest to Show of Hands at The Swan Theatre last autumn will have seen just a snapshot of the talent of this incomparable performer – here's a chance to see the full package. Sometimes dubbed "the Welsh Springsteen" the Cardiff-based singer songwriter is one of acoustic music's most captivating and compelling performers– a mean guitar player with a powerful voice to match.Voted "Best Male Artist" in the 2004 BBC Welsh Music Awards, he has five chart hits to his name (including Dolphins Make Me Cry, Working Mother and Please Sir) and has toured with Art Garfunkel, Jools Holland and Suzanne Vega. Now recording on his own label, everything about him spells "indy". What sets him apart is his ability to belt out big, punchy, political songs one minute and then slide seamlessly into fragile love songs the next in an evening of true light and shade. Effective and affecting, he has written a treasure trove of songs to challenge the thinker, the fighter and humanist in us all. Showcasing songs from his latest highly acclaimed album Deep Blue he will prove how eloquently he can switch between the political and the personal. Be warned - his performances are often a roller coaster ride. But never less than compulsive viewing. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
