About The Celturian

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.




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.
In 2000 to 2018 present I have been Experimenting with Sound Libraries from EastWest and using TriplePlay midi guitar has opened a new approach in how I'm Composing my Music today, I have been well pleased with Kontakt and Medieval legends with Celtic Era Sound Libraries,listen out on my Music to hear these emotional strings in full array.


In 2006 Martin’s music took off in America, with a concert at the Sidewalk Cafe in New York receiving a rapturous response.


The Celturian – Martin’s own word to help define his music - is now taking his Celtic acoustic format to new heights

with the recording of a new album, Samurai Rose, in collaboration with singer-songwriter and martial artist Fay

Yvonne (Fay Goodman)China Doll. The all-original work, produced with the musical backing of Rick Waksman and studio support

from Louie Nicastro, producer of The Stranglers, is due for release in June 2010.
