Martin has been doing the circuit since 1990 when he left the holiday camps and is a regular fixture playing at a lot of high profile functions at venues in Southampton like St Mary's Stadium, The Rosebowl, The De Vere Grand Harbour Hotel & Botley Park Hotel

Because Martin sings to backing tracks, he doesn't need much room to perform or time to set up

The music he uses is of a very high quality and a lot of people often remark that they had no idea that there was live music going on because the sound is so good!

He is completely self sufficient with an entire Mackie set up, twin ipod decks and 5000 tracks, suitable for playing to audiences of up to 2000 people with full lighting, smoke & disco.

Although one September in 2000, he did play to 7 million!! but that was Robbie's concert and murf just did a small cameo!

"It was my most memorable moment when I sang with Robbie Williams."

"I won tickets to one of his gigs that was being broadcast on Radio 1 to promote his new album 'Sing When You're Winning'. Being the sort of bloke that I am, I thought it would be a good idea, though a long shot to try and sing with him.
So I went down Staples and bought myself a marker and some A2 size paper to write a banner."

"We all got there quite early so a good vantage point was definitely on the cards. In fact I was in row one and could see the song list taped to the stage floor.
When he started to sing Angels I held up the banner which read "can I sing Angels with you?" He saw it and said mid chorus, "do you know the words?" I nodded and he said, "Come on then!""

"I sang the second verse and the audience went wild. Robbie was very complementary though quite shocked that I could actually hold a tune. It wasn't 'til the next morning that fever pitch set in as I was on the front page of the Star and in the gossip columns of most of the other papers and Scott Mills on Radio 1 was calling me up for an interview on the breakfast show every day. Things went manic for a while but the attention went away as quickly as it came.

Although I was disappointed that nothing tangible came from it, it's not every day you get to sing with the biggest act in the UK to 7 million listeners on Radio 1."

"I did go and see RW again in Belgium and got to the front with my banner again. He cracked up when he saw it and came out after a break with his own banner saying "NO". I suppose lightning doesn't strike twice or maybe I pushed my luck
a little. He wrote about it in his book, 'Nobody Someday' which was an honour but was less complementry."

It seems like such a long time ago now, but people still remember it and ask to hear the song we sang again and again!!
