Martin Taylor will perform at Kings Place in London on October 23, 2026. Taylor is a highly regarded guitarist known for his innovative fingerstyle technique and contributions to the world of jazz guitar. His playing frequently incorporates complex harmonic structures, melodic improvisation, and a distinctive percussive approach achieved through manipulating the guitar’s soundboard. He has explored various genres including jazz standards, classical pieces arranged for solo guitar, and original compositions, often drawing inspiration from Brazilian music and bebop. Throughout his career he has collaborated with prominent musicians such as Stéphane Grappelli and Marian McPartland.

Kings Place is a multi-faceted arts venue situated near King's Cross station in London. Opened in 2008, it was developed as part of the Regent Quarter regeneration project on the site of a former warehousing and industrial area. The building houses two primary performance spaces: Hall One, known for its excellent acoustics and primarily hosting classical, jazz, and world music concerts; and Studio Two, a more intimate space used for a wider range of events including recitals, talks and smaller-scale performances. Kings Place also includes art galleries exhibiting contemporary visual art, offices, and a restaurant.
