Inspired by early Cure and the Brighton scene, Martin began his career as a busker aged 15. He then spent three years plying his trade as the guitar player in various bands in the Northeast of England. But Martin wanted more, he wanted to tell stories of his own and he was quickly developing ways of doing just that.
Martin formed his band The Daintees, who became a busking sensation and were signed by Kitchenware at around the same time as Prefab Sprout and Hurrah! The band have always been known for their incredible range of styles, each album covering a multitude of genres, tempos and moods.
The Hepburns are an indie pop band from Llanelli with a career spanning 5 decades. Formed in January 1985, they signed to Cherry Red Records and released their debut EP Goalmouth
Incident in 1987, followed by their critically acclaimed debut album The Magic of The Hepburns in 1988.
