“Martyn Joseph is a performer like no other. Shades of Springsteen, Knopfler, and Dave Matthews there may be, but he stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live musical experience of their lives.” (www.martynjoseph.com)

Joseph is a Welsh singer-songwriter with a 25 year career. He has had five Top 50 UK chart positions, and has toured with Suzanne Vega, Joan Armatrading, Clannad, and Celine Dion. He won the 2004 BBC Welsh Music Award for Best Male Artist and has numerous humanitarian plaudits and awards to his credit.

His strength lies in being able to use a lyrical narrative style to sing about anything from social injustice to the intricacies of love. He seems to be able to pin down the feelings that we all have in songs that we can all relate to.

This man with his guitar is able to create songs with “outstanding lyrical intelligence.” (BBC’s Bob Harris). As Martyn himself says, “It’s the song that can soothe, explain, or even in a small way save us.”
