Martin Simpson is playing at the Bishopsgate Institute on Friday 23 Sept w/ Alasdair Roberts and Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell. £15. For info and bookings call 020 7254 4097.
if ole bob was alive to day ,i think he would just sit there with an ivory tooth grin and say go man go,just think of how proud he would be to hear all the differnt takes,and twist on his songs,but the un disputed truth is that he is still with us,this video is proof.
@Fraterculae oh you met him? where was that? he's such a little man, i was surprised, still got a lovely picture out of it. Folk power sister! Folk power! lol
@SteveGoodheart Speaking of Dave Alvin. We have an upcoming concert featuring Dave Alvin and Cindy Cashdollar on August 14, 2010. Check our website for more information!
My absolute favorite folk guitarist/recording artist- although he does so much more than "folk". It's hard to classify him, which is why I enjoy him even more.
Just fantastic

He's so much better solo than he is with his trio, his performances lose so much energy with the trio. it's kinda sad.
