Simon Kempston is an Edinburgh, Scotland based singer-songwriter and leading acoustic fingerstyle guitarist performing original and contemporary acoustic folk/blues songs and material.
He is an established, well known face on the acoustic, folk and songwriting circuit around the UK and have performed at many of the major venues, folk & blues clubs & festivals there. Highlights of his performing career thus far in the UK & Ireland have included appearances at Celtic Connections, the Acoustic Festival of Great Britain, the Maryport Blues Festival, Sligo Live, Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Festival, live performances on BBC Radio and annual appearances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (sell-out shows). For the past two years he has also conducted extensive tours upon mainland Europe, performing headline shows in more than fifteen countries, becoming a familiar face on the continental acoustic and Festival circuit.
He is currently appearing both as a solo artist, and with a small ensemble, and recently released my latest album ‘A Fine Line’ (engineered and produced by Ian McCalman of the McCalmans). The album is receiving regular airplay on BBC Radio across the UK and has been very well received by reviewers, picking up great write-ups in newspapers & magazines across the UK.
