Martin Harley UK Tour 2026

Welsh singer-songwriter and slide guitarist Martin Harley returns to the UK with his 2026 tour, bringing his distinctive blend of roots music to The Barrel House in Totnes. Known for weaving the textures of blues, folk, and Americana into compelling songs, Harley has built a reputation as a masterful slide guitarist and expressive vocalist over more than two decades in the music scene. His live shows have been described by The Guardian as “spellbinding,” while Roots Magazine has hailed him as “a slide guitar master.”

Harley’s recent efforts culminate in the album Morning Sun, released on 18 October 2024 and produced by Nigel Stonier. This record highlights some of his finest songwriting to date, featuring collaborations with Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman. It reflects Harley’s deep roots in Americana and blues, capturing the essence of his dynamic style that has graced venues like London’s Union Chapel, as well as festivals including Glastonbury and performances at the Royal Albert Hall.

Martin Harley shared with fans: “A huge thank you for supporting me. Four show 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.”

The Barrel House, Totnes, a well-regarded venue known as the Home of Live Music in South Devon, provides an intimate and vibrant setting for this tour date. Hosting an array of live bands, DJs, comedy nights, and community events, this venue offers a capacity for around 150 guests standing, creating a close-up experience with the artist. It’s an ideal space for Harley’s rich sonic palette to resonate personally with an engaged audience.
