10 Oct: Live Music - Simon Kempston

Join us for an evening of mesmerising live music with acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist Simon Kempston.

Hailed as “one of Scotland’s very best songwriters” (The Sunday Herald) and “a master of fingerstyle guitar” (The Scotsman), Simon’s sound is instantly recognisable—an intricate fusion of classical, Celtic and blues influences that provides the perfect backdrop to his rich tenor voice.

With lyrics that stand alone as poetry, Simon’s songs are thought-provoking and politically charged, often reflecting on architecture, travel, and literature as much as on contemporary life. His performances are renowned for their intensity and honesty, captivating audiences across the globe. Having toured in over 30 countries and released ten critically acclaimed albums, Simon continues to push creative boundaries with each project.

His most recent release, My Dreams Are Theirs (2024), has been praised as his most heartfelt and direct collection to date—music that feels both timeless and vital.
