Those of us who have been going to Greenbelt over the years know how great a geezer Martyn Joseph is. Some musicians want to move your feet, and some just want to move you; Martyn wants to move heaven and earth! His songs are infected with a discreet but defiant God-bothering.
His music articulates a yearning for another world that is yet to be born. The Best of Martyn Joseph was described by Britain's two leading music magazines Q, and, MoJo, as having 'a depth, resonance and emotional punch, which belies comparison'. Meanwhile Tom Robinson regards Martyn as one of Britain's 'most charismatic and electrifying performers'.
Over the years his touring on both sides of the Atlantic has helped to establish this gifted and gracious Welshman as one of the foremost singer/songwriters of his generation. A Greenbelt punter likened the experience of hearing Martyn as witnessing someone who is content with beautiful business of being alive with all its absurdity and sadness.
When you really get into Martyn Joseph, you'll think likewise.
