To quote one of his own songs, Mart was 'born to play, not knowing life and a living gets in everyone's way'.
He first learned to play guitar aged 14, naturally with the help of Bert Weedon's Play In A Day. Like most teenagers in
the heady punk and Mod Revival years of the late 1970s, he formed a band. Like most bands in
the heady punk and Mod Revival years of the late 1970s, it didn't get very far.
Years passed, and decades too, punctuated by occasional and frankly half-hearted attempts to resurrect a musical career.
Sad to say, throughout these sorry times Mart continued to write songs and practise almost every day.
Over the past couple of years, thanks to the flourishing local Open Mic scene, Mart is again making music in public,
with an unusual and eclectic mix of classic covers, as well as a sprinkling of his own songs when the opportunity arises.
