The Slide Guitar Master
Following the success of the Roll With The Punches band tour across the UK and Europe, we’re pleased to welcome Martin Harley as he takes to the road for a run of intimate solo acoustic shows.
Through his road-worn song writing style he explores hopes and fears for fast changing times. Slide guitar is always at the root of Martin’s sound, mirroring his whisky soaked northern breeze vocals. With fantastic reviews still coming in for his new album, things are looking good for the wandering bluesman.
Martin is respected as much by his peers as loved by his audiences. Total Guitar Magazine ranked him #16 in the World’s greatest acoustic guitarist poll and he was nominated as Instrumentalist of the Year at the Americana music awards 2019.
“Spellbinding” – The Guardian
“Quite simply a great live act” – Time Out London
Joanna Cooke
“This is how it’s done…soulful and epic. Joanna Cooke is bursting with raw talent!”
Motown legend Martha Reeves put it perfectly, describing Joanna Cooke as “the baby girl singing the blues”. Joanna’s voice has the soul and power of someone way beyond her years, and her self-penned songs so raw and honest they leave a lasting impression on her audiences.
This West country singer/songwriter first taught herself the piano from a keyboard she found in a skip and wrote songs that brought her school teachers to tears. Fast forward and she is now supporting major artists such as Paloma Faith and Rag'n'Bone Man, as well as performing her own intimate solo gigs.
