MARTIN LUCAS - THE CELTURIAN
An acoustic warrior with an acoustic guitar as his
weapon, Martin Lucas aka The Celturian - has been
captivating audiences with his unique musical style.
The Birmingham-based self-taught musician, who has
also been dubbed the Celtic Jimi Hendrix, has raised
the popularity of Gaelic-themed music to new levels
by pioneering its performance on acoustic guitar.
With no margin for error, Martin relies on concentration
and muscular fingers for his continuous solos
that veer from heartfelt melody to frenetic flurry.
Having experimented in the Celtic format since the
1990s, his style involves using the entire neck of his
Takamine guitar in fast reels, using open tuning with
up to three capos or more to present a richer range
of chords.
The Celturian Martins own word to help define his music - is now taking his Celtic acoustic format to new heights
with the recording of a new album entitled The Eye, in collaboration with singer-songwriter and martial artist Fay
Yvonne (Fay Goodman). The all-original work, produced with the musical backing of Rick Wakeman and studio support
from Louis Nicastro, producer of The Stranglers, is due for release in June 2010.
The album entitled the Eye has been released and is available on itunes and Amazom and at www.goodmedia.co.uk Also our second album with Rick Wakeman on ,called I know I have a heart is availble to.Have you performed in front of an audience?My performances over the years for BBC radio Rock fests on stage with Blaze Bayley Ironmaidon Wishbone Ash Saxon Bob Catley Berni Tormi..Trevor Burton from the Move...Gives me great satisfaction to be a part of the music industry.

You added a great touch with this song, Jude wrote. This song builds the longer you listen. Very nice. :) ))Very nicely arranged… an awesome classical style which was so well put together. Awesome job!!I love a country feel song and can appreciate all the variety of styles you record. Love the different touch at the end. I like the fade harmony I'm hearing as well.. Nice & very enjoyable.I truly enjoy any tune you spit out with a blue feel to it. Awesome guitar progressions. Enjoyed listening to this one since blues is one of my favorite styles...All comments (61)
