Martyn Joseph is a completely unique and mind-blowing artist. For one man and a guitar he creates a performance with a huge far-reaching sound that is energetic, compelling, and passionate. He returns to Hall One after multiple sell-out Kings Place shows.

Martyn Joseph is gifted with the rare ability to speak to the soul with his expressive and poignant lyrics and has a career spanning over 40 years, 27 studio albums, over half a million record sales and thousands of live performances. A unique talent driven by passion, social awareness, and love for his trade, he’s a jaw-dropping guitar player who has developed a unique percussive style, teamed up with a powerful show-stopping voice, and has been called ‘The Welsh Springsteen’.

After being signed to Sony Music in the early ’90’s, for whom he recorded 2 albums and achieved Top 40 chart success, Martyn became a trailblazer for independent musicians. He launched his own record label in 1999, forging a successful career using the internet, ahead of many other artists.

In November 2025, he released his 28th studio album, Troubled Horses, in Martyn’s own words, ‘I wanted to create a record that felt up-close and personal, songs that are sitting right next to you, on the edge of too close for comfort.’ It’s an album of haunting, elegiac songs, acoustically recorded pared back lo-fi snapshots.

This event will last approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including the interval.
