Grammy-nominated guitarist and composer Martin Taylor is celebrating his 60th birthday in style, with a 13-date UK tour.
Considered by some to be the world’s foremost exponent of solo jazz and fingerstyle guitar, Martin Taylor’s remarkable musical career has spanned five decades with more than 100 recordings to his name, an MBE, two honourary doctorates and many international awards.
He has collaborated with musicians from many different musical genres including Jeff Beck, Tommy Emmanuel, Bill Wyman, Chet Atkins, Stephane Grappelli, David Grisman, George Harrison, Jamie Cullum, Bryn Terfel, Dianne Schuur and Gary Burton.
However, his solo concerts, with a signature style that combines virtuosity, emotion and humour with a strong, engaging stage presence, that makes his tour one of the highlights of the autumn jazz calendar
