Martyn Joseph

Martyn Joseph is a British singer working in blues, country and folk, returning to Hall One at Kings Place for a solo performance with a guitar. The evening is a live show by the artist, not a tribute.

Martyn Joseph is a British singer born in Penarth in 1960, whose music is rooted in traditional music. Active since 1983, the year of the album I'm Only Beginning, the artist works across blues, country and folk and has built a career spanning more than 40 years. The most recent of the 28 studio albums is Troubled Horses.

Signed to Sony Music in the early 1990s, Martyn Joseph recorded two albums for the label and reached the Top 40. In 1999 the artist launched an independent label and built a career online, and has been called 'The Welsh Springsteen'. On stage, the act works alone with a guitar, pairing a percussive playing style with a powerful voice and lyrics described as expressive and poignant.

The concert returns to Hall One at Kings Place, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners drawn to songwriting built on social awareness and close, personal storytelling.
