Martin Taylor – Standards UK Tour 2026

Multi-award-winning guitarist Martin Taylor MBE has been described by Jeff Beck as “the best guitarist in the world” and by Pat Metheny as “one of the most awesome solo guitar players in history.” Renowned internationally for his warm stage presence, dazzling fingerstyle technique, and unforgettable interpretations, Martin has enjoyed a remarkable career spanning six decades, including collaborations with Stéphane Grappelli, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, and many of the world’s greatest jazz musicians.

In 2026, Martin Taylor returns to the stage with his brand-new solo show “Standards”, celebrating the golden age of jazz through fresh and evocative arrangements of classic tunes from the Great American Songbook. Audiences can expect an evening of breath-taking musicianship, rich harmonies, and stories that transport you behind the music—from smoky jazz clubs to concert halls around the world.

Whether you’re a long-time jazz lover or discovering Martin’s music for the first time, Standards promises an intimate, uplifting concert experience from one of the true greats of our time.

Support comes from local outfit Bordeaux Blue. A staple of the Guernsey music scene, Bordeaux Blue is formed of four musicians with a broad spectrum of influences and experience. The band members complement each other, the solid rhythm guitar of Ernie, Paul’s walking bass and the superb improvised contributions of Andy and Glenn.
