The Lake Poets is Martin Longstaff, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Sunderland. 

Inspired by artists such as Feist, Warren Zevon, Carole King, Kings Of Convenience, John Martyn, Jackson Browne, Tom Waits, and Neil Young, Martin’s output as The Lake Poets is as haunting as it is beautiful. 

Stunning audiences in support of Willy Mason, Ben Howard, Daughter and Jake Bugg, Martin has also played sold-out shows at prestigious venues such as Union Chapel, Roundhouse and The Sage Gateshead, as well as major festivals such as Glastonbury and T in the Park. Martin's music has seen steady daytime airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, XFM and BBC 6 Music.
