See five times BBC Radio 2 Folk award winner Martin Simpson at Berkhamsted Civic Centre, on Thursday, March 19, at 7.30pm.
The 2004 and 2002 musician of the year and winner of Best Album (2002 and 2008), missed out on his third Musician of the Year gong this year.
But there is no doubt that after 35 years as a professional musician Martin is, right now, better than ever.
Widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world, his interpretations of traditional songs are masterpieces of storytelling.
Expect an intense, eclectic, spellbinding and deeply moving solo show in Berkhamsted as there is no-one who has more successfully combined the diverse elements of British, Afro-American and old-timey music than Simpson.
Tickets are available from the box office on 01442 228091, at Berkhamsted Civic Centre or online at www.dacorum.gov.uk/arts.
