MARTYN Joseph is a completely unique and mind blowing artist, his fans say.

And the good news is, he’s set to blow the mind of a Worcester audience, at the Huntingdon Hall.

A spokesman said: “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.

“Be it to two hundred people or twenty thousand, he blows the crowd away night after night.”

The spokesman added: “There is a versatility to his music that is hard to categorise. Many have tried, resulting in labels such as folk, rock, soul, folk funk and Americana; all of which somehow miss the mark.

“But sometimes music doesn’t need a defining genre and with the ability to articulate a sense of the bigger picture, Martyn’s music and social commentary manage to empower and speak for many.

“His songs are pictures, and stories, and feelings all put to music and delivered by a master craftsman.”

In 2016, Martyn was nominated in the Hardest Working Artist category at the UK Independent Music Awards, being the only folk artist to receive any nomination, playing over 170 shows worldwide.

The spokesman added: “With a career spanning 30 years, 32 albums, over a half a million record sales and thousands of live performances, autumn 2018 saw the release of his 33rd studio album, produced by Gerry Diver.

“A unique talent driven by passion and love for his trade, Martyn continues to write, sing and play from the heart.

“ Stunning reviews single him out as an unmissable solo performer whose music stays with you long after the show has ended.”

No less an authority than “Whispering” Bob Harris has praised Martyn’s “stunning, heartfelt music”.

And MOJO described him as “a Welsh national treasure”.

The date for the diary is Thursday, January 17, from 7.30pm.
