A unique talent, his beautifully crafted material showcases his incredible, distinctive and intricate fingerstyle guitar-work and his gently nuanced, compelling tenor vocals. An inspiring, poetic lyricist, Simon’s impassioned live performances showcase timeless songwriting with a universal appeal, interspersed with humorous worldly tales. These intimate hometown concerts highlighting his critically acclaimed new album You Can’t Win Every Time are unmissable. ‘One of Scotland’s very best singer-songwriters’ (Herald).
