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.

With no margin for error, Martin relies on concentration
and muscular fingers for his continuous solos
that veer from heartfelt melody to frenetic flurry.

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.
