Yes. There are two us, although I am not him and he is not me and neither of us are really... and sometimes there are three, and he is neither of us...
We are all made up.

Bowler hats, crumbling music halls, hymns in no-mans land.
The Creative Martyrs first appeared in 1883, performing cabaret song and speciality acts in music halls, circus, travelling shows and public houses in Glasgow and London. However many of their audiences felt The Creative Martyrs were far ahead of their time and as such it wasn’t until their Weimer Cabaret acts of the 1920's that the by then jaded Martyrs found a sympathetic ear. They further developed their cynicism in the vaudeville shows of 1940’s America by which time they were considered passé. In recent years The Creative Martyrs have returned to their roots, suffering for their art in Glasgow and Edinburgh, although in this modern age of international travel they ply their wares in any place that will have them and many that won’t.
Tonight! Queers and straights, get yer silver spandex on and get on down to the Flying Duck, Glasgow. Live music from Nanobots, Sellotape and The Paraffins, plus all manner of retro-futuristic pop and electro from Swallows and Amazons DJs.

you asked me to remind you that a certain Miss Amanda Palmer is playing in Edinburgh at the HMV Playhouse on 22nd August. I believe there are still tickets available for the event.
We are hoping to catch your show first and then head over to see her. You are most welcome to join us. I think Amanda would love the Creative Martyrs!
Hey Martyrs. I've been requested by the Retrofrets to ask if yous will be popping along to their gig tonight with fatalists. It's in Sleazys, will be starting at 8ish. They were all too silly to ask yous before they go into town. Tsk tsk. Maybe see yous there! xx
Thanks! I think we did well despite all the string-breaking, lyric sheet dropping and kick pedal collapsing. A good excuse to get so drunk I lost my amp, which I got back today. Oh dear. I'm only just this second remembering your set, as it is all a bit hazy. Good stuff though!
