Hello, I’m Martin. I play traditional fiddle music for dancing and for listening.
New album… ‘First Steps’ by Brown Boots (my duo with the fantastic Will Allen). Order now…
I enjoy the freedom to improvise, listen and express myself that’s possible within the world of folk and traditional music.
But most of all I love bringing people together to enjoy music and dancing.
