Martin Simpson is well known on the folk circuit here in the UK and won the Folk Musician of the Year award just a few years ago. I had the pleasure of standing ten feet from him as he played a set at Cambridge Folk Festival in 2009 and was completely awed by his ability. I've always considered him a solo artist and was unaware of an association with any bands although he does occasionally tour as part of The Four Martins, with Marin Carthy (folk), Martin Taylor (jazz) and Juan Martin (flamenco).

Did you notice what guitar he was using at Cambridge.
The Sobell guitar he played was a thing of beauty and played like nothing I have heard before except Neils Claxton of course :) .
This one looked like a spruce top with a beautiful Brazillian rosewood back.
Yes - it was the Sobell that he played at Cambridge. I think he now has some association with the new line of PRS acoustics.
