About Billy Martin Jnr

Billy Martin Jnr, the “delta blues man of Sheffield.” Taking his cue from his father, and drawing on a lifetime’s experience, Billy performs original material in the style of the greatest blues men, injecting warmth and humour into his spellbinding performances. He is known as a highly accomplished writer and regular MC of Sheffield’s longstanding Philadelphia Blues and Beer Festival. A truly remarkable voice, and great storytelling. As fellow Sheffield performer Robin Hoare puts it, “Billy is unique. He’s Sheffield’s favourite blues poet. He’s magnetic.”

Sheffield singer/songwriter and 2007 Mercury Music Award nominee Richard Hawley said recently that "Billy Martin Jnr is one of the great undiscovered Sheffield talents - uncompromising brilliance!"

A quick note for anyone sending friends requests; recently I've had a lot more requests coming through, so this means that regretably I can't guarantee that I'll be able to send everyone a "thank you" note, although I will certainly try my best. I am very grateful for your support, and always want to hear from you. If you post a comment or message I will get back to you. Many thanks, Billy.

Barbara	Oct 31 2009 1:38 AM Hello, nice to meet you.
Whippoorwill	Oct 5 2009 4:20 PM Hi Billy, Thank you so much for Saturday night - you were great. Sorry we had to cut it short we would have liked to have you on longer. There was some really good feedback about you after the show. hope to see you soon
FRIZZ RECORDS	Oct 4 2009 7:15 PM ....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our second official LP release... "Modern Mediaeval" is the third LP from singer-songwriter DAVID GARSIDE, and the first to receive the full Frizz Records vinyl treatment. It’s also clearly the most fully-realised statement of his distinctive vision so far… It’s an easy route to locate David in the tradition of his ‘classic’ influences (McCartney, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Love, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Dexy’s…), but there are few songwriters working today that have absorbed these influences so fully, and arrived at a mature style as David has… This is ’singer-songwriter’ music in the sense that it’s focus is on song-craft and the unfolding of the lyrical vision of a single individual, but if so then it’s definitely at the sophisticated end of the scale (’progressive’ if that term isn’t too loaded…), filed alongside ‘Bryter Layter’, ‘The Hissing Of Summer Lawns’, ‘Pretzel Logic’ or ‘Surf’s Up’...another FRIZZ RECORDS instant classic! "Modern Mediaeval" can be downloaded from the iTunes Store The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
