Bio / Background
Born in Gillingham, Kent, raised on peanut butter and The Beatles, Martin played harmonica on the gravestones of St Mary's Church until a plastic guitar changed his life at the age of 8. "I fell in love with the acoustic guitar listening to Roy Harper, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and all that happy stuff!"
In 1986 he was signed by Chris Blackwell to Island Records and his album 'The Englishman Abroad', produced by Rupert Hine, with guests Howard Jones, Phil Palmer (Dire Straits) and Trevor Morais (drummer with ‘60’s legends The Peddlers and later in the ‘90’s Underworld), was first released. One of Martin's songs from the album - Shine - was subsequently included in the film soundtrack of 'Better off Dead' (starring John Cusack) and another - The Eighth Wonder - was a huge international success when covered by Miguel Bose.
