More about Martin..

Music has always played a central role in my life. I have been playing bass since the age of 14. In this time I have played in a variety of cover and original bands. My early career saw me playing in my band ' Another Country' performing at youth clubs and where we came first in the school talent contest.

Hailing originally from London, my second band ' Crazy Days' were regular performers on the London Circuit performing at Venues such as "Mean Fiddler", " Rock Garden" as well "The Borderline". With the advent of time saw me moving on to new pastures and improving my craft by playing in various cover bands across the UK.

Eager to continue my musical education I enrolled and graduated from the Access to Music Programme. Using the skills gained on this course and my previous experience I continue to improve my knowledge of bass.
