English Folk

Martin Simpson, Michael Chapman and Steve Tilston, three of the English acoustic scene's finest singer-songwriters and guitarists, get together at the intimate Bush Hall in a special concert for BBC Four. All hailing from the north of England, they are masters of their craft, long honed by touring clubs and recording throughout careers spanning some six decades.

Sharing a stage for the first time, they display their guitar wizardry, collaborate and tell the odd story, playing their folk blues songs like Chapman's famous Postcards of Scarborough, Tilston's R2 Folk Awards 2012 winner The Reckoning, and Simpson's moving Never Any Good.
