Simon Kempston

Edinburgh based singer-songwriter and leading acoustic fingerstyle guitarist Simon Kempston performs original and contemporary acoustic folk/bluesunique talent on his first New Zealand tour.

His beautifully crafted folk-tinged material showcases his incredible, distinctive and intricate finger style guitar work – an exciting blend of the folk-baroque, blues and classical styles, and his gently nuanced, compelling tenor vocals.

An inspiring, poetic lyricist, Simon's live performances are intense and impassioned, the subject matter chiefly Scottish, yet with universal appeal.

This concert is not to be missed. 'One of Scotland's very best singer-songwriters' (Sunday Herald). 'Stunning talent' (STV).

Beautiful tunes, infinitely talented' (BBC Radio 3).

Cafe open for food from 5pm.
