Martyn Joseph, Liverpool Philharmonic. Sings about getting older, yet reads his hi-tech Welsh teleprinter without glasses 😀 Brings together long-time fans, musicians in awe, and those drawn by social justice. We left connected, hopeful, and reminded to love 👏👏👏 @martynjosephwales.bsky.social

Last night I was at this extraordinary piece of theatrical magic. Michael Sheen and cast created moments that will remain with me. Thornton Wilder himself would surely have loved this interpretation of his opus. I was moved and challenged and the world has felt a little more tender today.

Thanks for being there Pete

Wonderful to spend time with the genius that is Mr George Lowden and play some amazing guitars at his HQ. We’ve been great friends for a long time and I’m still using the guitar I bought from him in 1984 on this tour. The Belfast show was a cracker!

And we’re up and running..4 great shows last week with the set list ripped up each night to follow the muse in the room.. and the new stuff killing it! Onwards today to Penzance, then Tintagel, Bournemouth and Bridgwater. All details here .. www.martynjoseph.net/tour

I’m late to the party for sure, but wow! @martynjosephwales.bsky.social rocking the…..errr….. Ascott Under Wychwood Folk Club!

Juliet Turner is an amazing Irish singer-songwriter. I co-wrote and produced her new record, now on Bandcamp. julietturner.bandcamp.com/album/home-f.... I also made a web app as an antidote to the soulless horror of Spotify: julietturner.music - a modern day liner notes experience. Enjoy ♥️♥️♥️

Nice early review of new album .. thank you!

I’ll never forget last night. Michael Sheen reads Dylan Thomas and R.S. Thomas, while I respond in the gaps with songs that try to empathise with the haunting words of Wales’s beloved poets.. as recited by one of its greatest actors. Thanks to Michael for the depth of his creativity and kindness.

Home after a wonderful run of shows on West Coast USA and at the unique and beautiful Sisters Folk Festival. It’s good to be reminded of the best that is America and hopefully to have encouraged some of the faithful in their struggle against this current administration’s bewildering madness.

So…

Home after a quick weekend visit to Canada to play the mighty Edmonton Folk Fest. It was my fourth time there and it continues to be the best run festival I’ve played at. Highlight for me was meeting and watching the amazing John Butler..but so many great artists and was honouring to be amongst them

Excited to be back in Canada for my fourth appearance at the wonderful Edmonton Folk Festival. Proud to be amongst this great list of musicians.

Wow...roll on Autumn...check this out on Martyn Joseph's UK tour dates. Always Hope @martynjosephwales.bsky.social www.martynjoseph.net/tour

A huge shout out of gratitude to the @deaconbluemusic.bsky.social for making me feel so welcome as the opener on their UK tour. It was a huge amount of fun and a joy to join them on stage for their encore in London.

Martyn is looking forward to hosting The Rising at this years @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social in August, along with an inspiring line up of artists and activists. Details from www.greenbelt.org.uk

I’ve opened for a lot of musical legends during my 43 year career but none of them has ever offered to introduce me on stage. Thank you Ricky Ross for your great kindness and friendship .. so looking forward to the rest of the tour x @Deacon Blue
