Coming to Wyeside Arts Centre this November is a man described as a “completely unique artist” – Martyn Joseph.

The mind-blowing singer songwriter will be performing in Builth Wells on Thursday, November 11, at 7.30pm. Take everything you think you know about singer songwriters and rip it up. For one man and a guitar he creates a performance with a huge far-reaching sound that is energetic, compelling and passionate. Be it to 200 people or 20,000, he blows the crowd away night after night.

April 2019 saw him win a Wales Folk Award for “Here Come the Young”, the title track of his 2018 album, of which Uncut magazine said ‘He’s never sounded more potent than he does here’.

In 2018 he was honoured with a Spirit of Folk Award and he also received Fatea magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award here in the UK.

He is gifted with the rare ability to speak to the soul with his expressive and poignant lyrics and has a career spanning 30 years, 33 albums, over a half a million record sales and thousands of live performances.

Autumn 2021 will see him releasing a brand new studio album of new material, with songs of both insightful observations of our times, along with poignant more personal reflections.

Compared to Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Bruce Cockburn and Dave Matthews, Joseph has created his own style and reputation as a mesmerising live performer and stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live music experience of their lives.

A unique talent driven by passion, social awareness and love for his trade, he's a jaw dropping guitar player who has developed a unique percussive style, teamed up with a powerful show stopping voice and has been called “the Welsh Springsteen”.

He is hailed as a raconteur, weaving tales on topical concerns, as well as stories on the fragility of love, with a magical ability to reach out to his listeners through his passion and humour. Stunning reviews single him out as an unmissable solo performer whose music stays with you long after the show has ended.
