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 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. thecelturian1@gmail.com |
