Martin Simpson it's funny Samira Ahmed asked about your tattoo. I have my Grandfather's navy record - and he had one too. I barely remember him, but I remember that tattoo...

Martin Simpson BBC Radio 4 BBC Radio 2 Shaun Keaveny 💙 Just caught up with the show on BBC Sounds. Marvellous stuff!

Me husband-man and Shaun Keaveny 💙 settling into the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show this evening at 9pm. Lovely fellas 🥰

I turned on the radio this evening and thought, 'That voice and guitar playing are so beautiful and evocative, I wonder who he is?' Then I heard Sean Rafferty say, 'Thank you Martin Simpson!' 💚

What a pleasure to round off my visits to the BBC with a session with Sean Rafferty at In Tune on BBC Radio 3 . Sean is a delight who values folk music as highly as any other music. You may hear a song from tonight on the breakfast show tomorrow.

Martin Simpson BBC Radio 4 BBC Radio 2 Shaun Keaveny 💙 Really enjoyed your time in the folk show. Anyone who missed it can listen again.

We are pleased to work with RSPB England to monitor hen harriers, and welcome the encouraging increase in England.

However, illegal killing still casts a shadow over valuable partnership work to recover populations, and we continue to support the police in their investigations.

Check out this amazing Blackbird! What brilliant mimicry😃

Many thanks to Shaun Keaveny 💙 for giving Walnut Shell a spin on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show last night - a song I wrote for my twin when he moved to New Zealand. I think we can all agree Shaun is doing a brilliant job of steering the ship while Mark has a well-deserved break. 👏👏

Coming to #EdinTradfest24 on Sat 4 May - and a true master of his art - Martin Simpson. @Msimpsonian is a virtuoso player without question, but above all, conveys his diverse treasure trove of material from the heart, performing with rare intensity. 🎟️ bit.ly/3vI5sAC

It’s not just the sentiment- which is obvyso powerful- there’s something oddly moving about the setting (a pub restaurant where everyone was getting on with their business whilst Martin Simpson was singing - keeping on ) - so wonderful to hear this song keeping on soaring

So utterly lovely. Heard this for the very first time when Martin Simpson sang this to Matthew Bannister on his Big Walk for Folk on Foot when I was editing the material Matthew sent back each day. Stopped my heart with its beauty when i heard it then folkonfoot.com/episodes/the-s…
