Martin Carthy and Special Guest

29th March 2026

National treasure Martin Carthy is a legendary ballad singer and guitarist who has influenced generations of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.

In recognition of his illustrious career, Martin has recently been shortlisted for the 2025 Mercury Prize for his wonderful new solo record Transform Me Then Into A Fish. This album both marks his 84th birthday in May 2025 and offers a full circle moment in his music journey as he revisits material from his very first (eponymous) solo record released in 1965.

In his live show, Martin will be joined by a very special guest, soon to be announced.
