GO CHECK OUR BRAND NEW WEBSITE TOO! www.thefallenheroes.com You'll also find us on 'Facebook'. Brothers Ben and Emile Martyn grew up in the company of legendary New Orleans jazz musician as their father is musician/promoter Barry Martyn.Before the ages of ten both had extensive contact with the likes of George Lewis, John Handy and Emile’s Godfather Harold Dejan of the world famous Olympia Brass band (of James Bond ‘Live and Let Die’ fame) In their teens the two moved to live permanently in New Orleans where they performed with their own band throughout the French quarter. After 10 years living and working in the U.S. Emile decided to return to Europe and make form his own band playing New Orleans music. But with a twist, being that his brother Ben, also just recently returned from living in New Orleans, would write original compositions in a funky New Orleans style and blend it with a contemporary London sound. Something that sets this band apart from the rest. The U.S. Parks commission in their drive to preserve the cultural heritage in and around New Orleans has recently adopted Ben’s soulful ballad ‘My heart stays in New Orleans’. Together with some of the finest young musicians playing in this unique style today, The Fallen Heroes offer a fresh approach to an already exciting form of music.
