Really like his playing in general, can anyone recommend some other artists that are similar in style to the YT clip

    He has a pretty big back catalogue. 

    She slips away from the prodigal son album  

    Grey stones from true stories. 



    I did a weekend workshop with him a few years back. Very interesting stuff.

    Saw Martin play a couple of times round about the time of the 'Kind Letters' album...great player...spellbinding stuff.

    For an artist cut from similar cloth, check out Johnny Dickinson...he died far too young a few years ago...there's not much out there though ;-/

    His agent's (?) YouTube channel is called 'mrmiffy2000'...you can then search for vids containing 'Dickinson'.

    Out of five albums that I know of, only 'Border Ballads' is streamable on Spotify.

    It's also on SoundCloud:
    https://soundcloud.com/johnnydickinson

    It's quite unusual in places but also very beautiful...and very Northumbrian...as was Johnny
    "Johnny's tunes and arrangements compliment this collection of poems originally collected by AC Swinburne in the 19th Century 'simmering atmospherics ... beautiful relaxed feel' (Colin Irwin, MoJo), commissioned by the Northumbria Anthology. Including the jaunty 'There Gowans Are Gay', the unusual arrangement of 'The Jolly Beggar' and the hauntingly beautiful 'Border Ballad' and 'A Jacobite's Farewell'."

    +1 for Johnny Dickinson.  N K Forster guitars has some footage of him playing his guitars

    Kelly Jo Phelps is well worth checking out as well

    saw MS at a village hall in Devon a few years back. Incredible player
