Experience Martin Taylor live on June 12th

Martin Taylor will perform at Oran Mor in Glasgow on June 12, 2026. Taylor is a highly regarded guitarist known for his fingerstyle technique, often described as blending jazz, classical, and folk influences. He gained prominence as a member of the innovative guitar duo Two Man Band with John Renbourn in the 1970s and has since established a significant solo career. His playing is characterized by harmonic sophistication, intricate arrangements, and a distinctive sound achieved through his use of open tunings and percussive techniques on the guitar body. He frequently performs solo and with ensembles, showcasing both original compositions and interpretations of standards.

Oran Mor is a prominent venue located in Glasgow’s West End, housed within a former church building dating back to 1878. Originally belonging to the Kelvinside Parish Church, the building underwent extensive renovation and conversion in the late 1990s. The interior retains many original architectural features including a notable William Brougham mural depicting scenes from St Mungo's life – one of the largest murals in Scotland.
