Martin Harley UK Tour 2026

Welsh singer-songwriter and slide guitar virtuoso Martin Harley returns to the UK with his “Martin Harley UK Tour 2026,” bringing his distinctive roots-infused sound to Morris Hall in Shrewsbury. Over more than two decades, Harley has built a reputation as a spellbinding live performer, blending blues, folk, and Americana to create music that resonates with soulful emotion and technical precision.

At the heart of this tour is Harley’s latest album, Morning Sun, released on 18 October 2024. Produced by Nigel Stonier, the album represents some of Harley’s finest songwriting to date and features collaborations with noted musicians Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman. Fans and newcomers alike will find much to appreciate in the evocative melodies and expert musicianship captured on the record.

Martin Harley’s live shows have earned acclaim at venues such as London’s Union Chapel and appearances at iconic festivals like Glastonbury and performances at the Royal Albert Hall. Acknowledged by critics—The Guardian described his shows as “spellbinding,” while Roots Magazine hailed him “a slide guitar master”—Harley combines heartfelt vocals with expressive slide guitar to excellent effect.

Martin Harley shared with fans: “A huge thank you for supporting me. Four shows are sold out and many more are set to do the same. I’m very thankful to be able to play music for a living and I couldn’t do it without you. See you soon.”
