Billy Martin Jnr

Billy Martin Jnr, the “delta blues man of Sheffield.” Taking his cue from his father, and drawing on a lifetime’s experience, Billy performs original material in the style of the greatest blues men, injecting warmth and humour into his spellbinding performances. He is known as a highly accomplished writer and regular MC of Sheffield’s longstanding Philadelphia Blues and Beer Festival. A truly remarkable voice, and great storytelling. As fellow Sheffield performer Robin Hoare puts it, “Billy is unique. He’s Sheffield’s favourite blues poet. He’s magnetic.”

Sheffield singer/songwriter and 2007 Mercury Music Award nominee Richard Hawley said recently that "Billy Martin Jnr is one of the great undiscovered Sheffield talents - uncompromising brilliance!"

A quick note for anyone sending friends requests; recently I've had a lot more requests coming through, so this means that regretably I can't guarantee that I'll be able to send everyone a "thank you" note, although I will certainly try my best. I am very grateful for your support, and always want to hear from you. If you post a comment or message I will get back to you. Many thanks, Billy.
