notes

Martin, armed only with an acoustic guitar, several hundred Irish tunes and a comedic wit, has been winning fans over since 1986. Along with singing Irish standards like The Wild Rover, and Whiskey In The Jar with some classic ballads thrown in, Martin may be better known for his bawdy Sing-A-Longs, and his audience-participation songs. Raised in Co. Sligo, Ireland. He moved to Chicago in 1982. Three years later he joined the long established folk group called The Irish Minstrels, and later went on to play with the likes of Denis Allen, Martin Hayes, et. al. Martin played bass guitar, and sang with The Dublin City Ramblers during their 1988 U.S. tour, and was also a founding member of Stephen's Green. Since then, Martin has played from "Boolya to Ballymagash" and back again, and has thrice been asked to open for The Saw Doctors.

    If you can sit still and not tip your pint back to this music then your dead. If anyone ever has the opportunity to be in Norfolk, VA you should stop and see Martin. Guaranteed the happiest pub night in America.

  • Great CD

    I saw this concert at the NorVa and it was awesome. Martin and Charlie are awesome together. I love going to Mo and O'Malley's and watching them. Fun, witty, and musical. Great CD

  • I love this cd!

    Okay, I have to admit, it was the Saw Doctors reference that caught my eye while perusing fiddlers on the site... But after previewing the tunes, I couldn't wait to get the cd - and I wasn't disappointed. Martin's music completely blew my socks off!
