The remarkable intimate solo performances by Martin Simpson go from strength to strength – every gig is a masterclass. Martin travels the length and breadth of the UK and beyond, giving rapt audiences passion, sorrow, love, beauty, tragedy and majesty through his playing.
“What’s it like being the best guitar player in the world…?” Martin’s modesty and grace prevented him from answering this BBC Radio 4 interviewer’s question recently, but the facts speak for themselves.
40 years after he recorded his first album, Golden Vanity, in 1976, Martin is known as a guitarist of formidable talent. Equally at home playing English traditional folk, American folk and blues and his own compositions, he is consistently named as one of the very finest fingerstyle guitar players in the world.
Supported this evening by Gregory Harrison, who will deliver his own style of folk with hints of jazz and swing.
Seats are unallocated, so please make sure to arrive in plenty of time.

After plenty of BBC 6 Music airplay for the new Album ‘Which Way is Happy’, Brighton based Penelope Isles are embarking on their first UK
Event Details
The band, a collaboration between brother and sister, Jack and Lili Wolters, mix waves of ambient delays and fuzz guitar noise, sonic dynamics and melodic pop hooks entwined with girl-boy harmonies. Their new albums has gained some rave reviews. Under the Radar Mag writes: “There’s much to admire here: beauty, fragility, a dash of blissed-out space rock, dream pop, even a hint of French disco amidst the soaring widescreen soundscapes as Penelope Isles dip in and out of genres yet never sound constrained by any of them.”
Also on the line up are Indie Psych band Volleyball, bringing with them their unique sound, which they describe as – a bit shoegazey, wobbly guitar and synth sounds, ethereal cruising melodies with
assured punchy drums.
The UK bands are joined by two local bands, atmospheric duo Lula & Gene with their own spin on well-picked covers and a growing repertoire of originals and dapper pop rockers Russel and The French Boys.

FOR FANS OF HIGH ENERGY, BONE-SHAKING BRASS
You might have heard 8-man brass and drums monster, Don’t Problem, from South East London, getting some airplay recently with the release of their new album Liminality. The band combine genres in a groundbreaking and innovative way, challenging the common perception of a “covers” brass band by adding electronics, synths & strings, a reflection of their wide encompassing interests and a desire to create new sonic landscapes. They insist on all original music that combines heavy funk and UK dance with raw psychedelic sounds to create a vibrant and fresh sound.
Support comes from Guernsey born singer, songwriter Eloise Fabbri. Nominated in 2020 for Birmingham’s Best Jazz Artist, Eloise’s soulful vocals and lyrical commentaries bring a whirlwind of genres to the table. Performing here with her excessively funky Big Bad Beauty Band.

BIT OF SKA, BIT OF PUNK, A WHOLE LOT OF RIOT
Attentive local audiences might remember Karl Phillips and The Rejects from the Vale Earth Fair a few years ago, with their completely original mashup of ska, punk & grime with a hip-hop nod at luminaries like The Clash, The Specials & Mike Skinner.
Karl’s refreshingly honest lyrics test the boundaries of the human mind and the English etiquette, coming from a place most people can relate to but never dare to mention!
Local band The Honest Crooks are the perfect fit to support this UK Brass/Ska riot. No introduction needed, come and dance!

The Nightmares prepare for their biggest show to date with support from The Erberts, Mojo & Sonic Bomb.
This is a night not to be missed! Coinciding with the release of their latest song ‘Till Morning’ The Nightmares celebrate with a huge night of local music before they attempt to conquer stages further afield in 2022 with the guernsey flag stamped firmly on their backs & in their hearts.
“A real fire that combined a mix of punk, indie & grunge subcultures, with a hint of mod thrown in for good measure… The real highlight of the whole set was the attitude & energy that felt like the somewhat motley but excellently complementary band are (Not so quietly) Building there own irresistible REVOLUTION’

Event Details
The Baghdaddies’ exuberant and rampant brand of world music is an exhilarating cocktail of Balkan melodies, ska and latin grooves and sizzling brass played with furious energy and theatrical humour, making them as unforgettable on stage as they are when performing as wandering brass troubadours.
This March they are back for their third gig at St James, and we just can’t get enough of them. For those who haven’t seen them yet, here is an excerpt of Tom Girard’s review of their 2019 show at St James:
“Ending with a kind of surf/ska hybrid number it wasn’t long before they were back for an encore that ended with them heading back off stage to busk in amongst the people, even taking up place behind the bar at the back of the room bringing the night to a close on a high and with the audience really still wanting more!”
Support comes from local band Russell and the French Boys.
Put on your dancing boots and get ready for a great night out.
