Simon Kempston

23rd February 2019

A unique Scottish talent on his first New Zealand tour, performing thought-provoking, evocative, original songs in a wonderfully intimate setting.

His beautifully crafted folk tinged material showcases his incredible, distinctive and intricate fingerstyle 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 special New Plymouth concert is not to be missed.

Immerse yourself in the soundscape of this incredibly talented performer and allow his beautifully crafted folk-tinged songs to transport you on a uniquely Scottish journey.
