“This insanely talented man is able to summon up an unbelievably lush landscape with nothing but an acoustic guitar and his astonishingly distinctive voice. As a guitarist no one comes close” - BBC Radio Berkshire

Nathan Ball’s beautifully crafted songs and virtuoso guitar playing reveal a unique and uncompromising approach to song-writing. Frequently compared to folk legends Nick Drake and John Martyn, Nathan has been declared a ‘rising star of the acoustic music scene’ (Folking.com). As a professional Luthier by day, Nathan performs with instruments he builds himself and whilst his guitar work could easily stand alone, his gentle interweaving of enchanting melodies combined with poetic lyrics that make contemporary comment on the issues of the day, make for a genuinely raw and spine-tingling performance.
