A gig held at St George's Bristol on Saturday 3rd May. The event starts at 20:00.
The Godfather of folk, blues, & one of the world’s finest acoustic guitarists Martin Simpson joins one of the UK’s brightest lights Katherine Priddy for a *special double concert*.

Katherine Priddy
------------------
Katherine Priddy’s music is both fresh & comforting. Her timeless quality justifiably marking her out as the UK’s brightest folk star.
“Katherine’s exceptional voice shines” **** The Guardian
2024 saw the release of Katherine Priddy’s eagerly awaited second album: The Pendulum Swing. Greeted by critical acclaim in the press including MOJO who called it ‘simply brilliant’, the album landed at Number 1 in the official UK Folk Charts, championed by Iggy Pop, Mark Radcliffe & Guy Garvey.
Priddy’s live performances are engaging, moving & amusing in turn, delivering original songs with emotional maturity, depth & remarkable lyrics. Despite the delicate nuances of her sound, Katherine Priddy is not a fragile wallflower, but a determined young woman making her mark.
With her biggest headline tour-to-date selling out, a slot on Jools Holland & her reputation growing, Katherine brings her sound to the beautiful St George’s. Catch her whilst you can…

Martin Simpson
----------------
Widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic & slide guitar players in the world, Martin’s songs are masterpieces of storytelling.
“One of the virtuoso instrumentalists of the English music scene… sounds better than ever” **** The Guardian
His remarkable solo shows are intense, eclectic, spellbinding & deeply moving. Always prolific & never one to rest long without a guitar in his hands & a song in his head, Martin has been nominated an astounding 32 times for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards – more than any other performer – winning ‘artist of the year’ and ‘song of the year’ numerous times.
Martin Simpson finds passion, sorrow, love, beauty, tragedy & majesty through his remarkable intimate solo performances. A must-see for all guitarists & those with a love of song.
“Every track cuts like glass. The folk singer & guitarist continues his winning streak.” Sunday Times
