Congrats to UK singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph and BBC Radio’s Stewart Henderson on their first duo tour in Canada! They will be performing their popular show in venues across Ontario in a tour supporting the work of World Vision Canada.
And because of my affiliation with World Vision Canada, you can go to any of their Canadian shows as a World Vision guest!
The reviews say it all…be it Q, Mojo, The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent…the respective songwriting, performing and poetic talents of Martyn Joseph and Stewart Henderson have attracted hugely impressive accolades:
“Martyn & Stewart are going to blow your minds. One of the most moving shows you will see this year.” – Mike Bowman, World Vision Canada
“Britain’s best kept secret…..a challenging songwriter and compelling and courageous live performer – MOJO Magazine
Their collaborative work on Martyn’s albums such as ‘Vegas’, ‘Deep Blue’ and ‘Whoever It Was That Brought Me Here Will Have To Take Me Home’, and their sold out poetry and music album ‘Because We Can…’ sees their audience regard them as ‘essential for the heart and soul.’ Of the two, one is melodically tall and sings, the other is poetically shorter and doesn’t….much.
To be included on the guest list, simply email artist_associates@worldvision.ca.
Martyn and Stewart in performance tell of ‘the passion, absurdity and at times, terrible joy of being alive.’ They perform together…Because They Can…Again. Expect an evening of belting songs, poignant verse you can whistle, plus mirthful ranting….
