The Martin Simpson Trio is a coming together of some of the finest musicians and singers in the UK today. Martin Simpson himself is recognised as one of the best acoustic guitar players in the world, with an unique mixture of British and American music in his repertoire. He has won BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Musician of the Year and Album of the Year, twice and also for Best Original Track in 2008.

Andy Cutting on melodeon is renowned for his work with June Tabor, Chris Wood, Kate Rusby, John McCusker and many others. He is a hugely respected, very popular recipient of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award’s Musician of the Year in 2008.

Andy Seward plays double bass with Kate Rusby‘s Band and with John Tams amongst many others. He is a much in demand producer of acoustic music from Kate Rusby to Phil Selway of Radiohead, and won a Sony Award in 2007 for his work on The Radio Ballads for BBC Radio 2.
