Martyn Joseph -

Cardiff's acclaimed singer songwriter has been described by Q Magazine as 'somewhere between Mark Knopfler and Chris Rea, with touches of Springsteen grit'. But in many ways he's an incomparable performer with an uncanny knack of fusing fearless, full-bodied 'songs with a message' with fragile love songs, producing rollercoaster performances of true light and shade. Voted 'Best Male Artist' in the 2004 BBC Welsh Music Awards, he has one of the most powerful voices on the acoustic circuit, a string of Top 50 hits to his name (including Dolphins Make Me Cry) and regularly tours in the UK, USA and Canada. 'One of the most charismatic and electrifying performers in Britain today' – Tom Robinson, BBC 6
