A fantastic range of low interest finance options now help the guitarist find the correct guitar for them without the price tag being an issue by spreading the instalments into easily manageable interest free payments. There’s nothing we love more than allowing a player of the past to re-live their passion by starting up again, but this time with the guitar they always wanted but could never afford.

Farnham is on the borders of Surrey and Hampshire, and only 45 minutes from London. The trip is worth it, but if you prefer to shop online, everything is online too!

Masterful!! What a treasure Martin Simpson is. Cheers!

[@ronnyskaar3737]

One time I visited London I had two concerts that interested me, so I had to choose. It was U2 or Martin. Loved hearing Martin that fine evening.

[@Alicedoesart]

His song “Never Any Good” is a masterpiece.

When Martin says the barre F is a pain.........you do tend to feel a bit better !!!!!!

[@Stratman389]

What a gentleman

[@davidallen5066]

Met him at Beverley folk festival a few years back , humble and talent

[@siggyuke]

Having, at 54, started to learn guitar and after 2 years still struggling, this is awesome (in the true sense of the word). My mind is blown!

[@DiggoryDiggory]

I just love that Martin can’t resist playing or singing throughout the whole interview. You can see his fingers itching to pick a string constantly. Lovely man, brilliant musician and excellent interview.

This is priceless. Martin is at the top of the acoustic tree. Plays with so much style and taste. This is like having him in your living room. Glad to see him playing the Taran also. I've had more guitars than I can count (including one of Martin's Sobells) but I ended up with a Tirga Mhor like this.

[@ghof3016]

Martin's amazing in the way he sings over the top of complex fingerstyle, playing quite independently. I bought a second-hand Taran similar to Martin's, without the cutaway. Its fabulous. I've never come upon a guitar that plays and sounds like nothing I've come across previously.

[@letiekllib]

Sounds like angels when he plays.

[@petergoddard1960]

Martin is always entertaining and an incredible artist. This was a fabulous interview. Thank you.

[@GuitarVillageFarnham]

[@casaMariaPT]

So proud that he is British...what a treasure!

[@kelvinpell4571]

Careful.....you might get the diversity thought Police after you!

[@niallbyrne7562]

Martin, " tuner " Simpson leaves the rest for dust.

[@guitarrich694]

Listen to 'Beautiful Darkness Celebrating the Winter Solstice' Martin Simpson, Jessica Radcliffe and Lisa Ekstrom.......a mesmerisingly beautiful album!!

[@paulechols]

Wonderful conversation and the music..... Wow

[@ianchatfield8135]

Sitting playing some country songs then I came across this while having a brew think I will take up cricket Mr Simpson genius is to lighter word

[@danielgrenier2417]

Martin turned me on to this (his?) CGCFCD tuning. So much more melodic and pleasant than standard or, even, DADGAD. My favorite and most versatile tuning for me now. THANKS Martin!

[@andmar77]

Really enjoyed this interview

[@johnsteele7201]

if there is a Hall of Fame for Americana music, he's long over due (even though, i know, he's british).

[@JC-ug7rg]

Damn. Huge artist. Thanks for share

[@django9858]

Excellent, thank you..

[@colinpadley8938]

Beautiful guitars

[@tbeau6663]

Top man

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Reminder Put new strings on the guitar just like Martin did to his 😊

[@letiekllib]

We met on the street decades ago as we were both going to IGS the first at Columbia Univ. in NYC. Soon I hope to be dedicating a shorebird sanctuary in my community. Perhaps we could make it a musical affair? bill keitel BBC Wgtn. MN.
