Part of Sunderland Music City’s ‘Expert Sessions’
Join legendary guitarist Martin Simpson for a rare, in‑depth workshop exploring the craft behind his celebrated playing. Martin will share his approach to arranging, demonstrate his favourite open tunings, and offer insight into how he shapes a song on the guitar. With live performance examples and plenty of space for questions, this is a chance to learn directly from one of folk music’s most innovative players.
You don’t need to bring a guitar—just bring your curiosity. You’ll leave with ideas to inspire a lifetime of playing.
