Martin Stephenson has been one of the the UK’s best-loved musicians for over 30 years, performing as a talented solo artist or with his band The Daintees. Always popular on the circuit, Stephenson’s “must see” live performances are an exuberant tour-de-force combining heart-in-your-mouth intimacy with playful humour and warm self-deprecation. The Daintees’ critically acclaimed 1986 debut Boat To Bolivia showcased Stephenson’s songwriting, poetic romanticism and spiritual depth – so marking him out as a soulful cream of the leftfield crop during the self-obsessed 1980s. Never pandering to a particular scene, Stephenson’s lightness of touch on a varied mix of musical styles was immediately apparent. He re-recorded this classic in 2016 for the 30th anniversary – and this year will see the 30th anniversary re-recording of his next classic album, Gladsome, Humour and Blue. 2017 saw the launch of new album Bayswater Road which was featured by an enthusiastic Tom Robinson on his Radio 6 show. Martin was in session with both Tom in London and Roddy Hart in Glasgow, at the BBC Radio Quayside sessions.
