Martin's Songbook
I have now added the sheet music for all the songs from my songbook 'Jack in the Green and Other Heroes' to the site. You can download, play and print the songs from there - and then sing them!

Dusty Diamonds
Our new CD 'Dusty Diamonds' was successfully launched at the Whitby Folk Week. Our sincere thanks to the musicians who played and sang on the CD: Becki Driscoll, Nick Wyke and Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham. Thanks also to Doug and Sue Bailey for their support and encouragement. For details of the CD go here (or click the link to the right of the screen).

Cherington Bells
Tim Eldridge, who runs the website for the village of Cherington in Gloucestershire, recently challenged folkies to supply a tune for the song texts he had recently unearthed that tell of dark deeds of bell-napping in the early 19th Century. Martin rose to the challenge and gave one of the songs a new tune. Read the story and listen to the song on the Cherington Village website. You can also download, play and print the sheet music here.
