Martin Stephenson
The Half Moon, SW15 1EU , [Venue Details]Martin Stephenson & The Daintees, one of the UK’s finest bands of the late 80s/early 90s. Still very active today, both recording and playing live.
Martin, however, has always enjoyed journeying solo down the B-roads of music, free from the shackles of expectation.
Martin’s shows are wonderful things, featuring songs old and new, stories both sad and hilarious, and finger picking guitar of the very highest standard.
The poet and the comedian in perfect synergy; an evening out that will gladden the heart in these uncertain times.
Stephenson started off as a busker and he still has that instinct and joy for live performance. Despite having played venues such as Glastonbury (where he has headlined) he loves just taking to the street and playing whatever takes his fancy, such as Chet Atkins or Merle Travis. He doesn’t put a case out for money, he plays for the sheer pleasure and to connect with people.
The NME said of Martin’s song craft that he “builds bridges between love and hate, cradle and grave, folk and pop, past and present.”
Legendary Scottish comedian and musician, Billy Connolly recently dedicated a section of a forthcoming BBC Scotland tv documentary to Martin Stephenson.
