Bio / Background
Martha was nominated and short listed for the best Manchester album 2003.Although it only came out in December! The album was up against heavy weights Simply Red,Lisa Stansfield, Shaun Ryder,Johnnie Marr,Elbow,I am Kloot,Starsailor,The Fall,Mark Owen and The Buzzcocks.
Steve O'Donoghue is a singer songwriter from Manchester England.He has just released his debut album on Firestation records (Berlin, Germany). The album is called Martha and has received some rave reviews in the British Press.
City Life said "this album was well worth the wait.Great lyrics, gorgeous melodies and very fine guitar playing"
Bangyoureadere "this is art. Steve O'Donoghue has a love of words that he rolls around in his mouth like a fine coniac"
NME " Fopish northern git with attitude"
Fly " very very good. A splash of Roddy Frame mixed with a little Prefab Sprout and finished off with a pantomime story by Billy Bragg and The Beautiful South"
MEN "mmmmmmmm.....Aztec Camera springs to mind.
↓ more ↓All acoustic guitars and lush piano.Three of these songs are just Steve with his acoustic guitar.The rest are with his band and they fit together with pop perfection. Text Book Hippy has a very sixties quality to it, all guitar and hammond organ.As does the mellotron in Johnnie Walker-which is quite the sadest song I've heard in years.Very, very moving"
Ten songs from Steve and his five piece band that will seduce you.
Steve has supported Squeeze, Glenn Tilbrook, Hazel O'Connor, The Wonderstuff, Haven, Lloyd Cole, Martin Stephenson and many more in the past three years
