“Martin was great! He provided two sets for our wedding party and he helped to make the evening really special. He is a great musician and was really professional (his drummer was great as well!). The guests loved him, and he even took their weird and wonderful requests. His covers were brilliant, we can’t recommend him enough. Book him now!”
