In recent years, songwriter Simon Boult has settled himself in the rolling countryside of East Yorkshire. A self taught guitarist, his rhythmic fingerstyle playing is both gentle and raw; a blend of folk, jazz and the blues, reflecting influences from the likes of Nick Drake, John Martyn and R. L. Burnside. A thoughtful writer with soul and sincerity, audiences are drawn into the performances, his poetic songs telling tales of life and its journey.
