Rootsy. Heart-in-your-mouth. A glorious collision of sounds.

Martin Stephenson & The Daintees are popular performers at The Glasshouse and as a Washington lad, it is always a joy to welcome him back to the North East.

Martin Stephenson’s one of Britain’s best-loved musicians. As a talented solo artist and with his band The Daintees he’s produced over 40 albums.

His unique and engaging live performances are an exuberant tour-de-force, combining heart-in-your-mouth intimacy with playful humour and warm self-deprecation.

Martin has been in session with the likes of Tom Robinson and Roddy Hart. He featured on Billy Connolly’s BBC TV documentary Made in Scotland in which he referred to Martin as ‘My kind of musician’.

He has played thousands of shows and to-date has performed at Glastonbury three times.
