  • Bio

    .. .. “Pulls together a plethora of stylistic references: folk, avant rock, dance, global, jazz, sampling, you name it- in an original and exciting way that is all his own.” (The Scotsman).... .. .. ..The Sound of a powerful yet beautiful hangover resulting from a night out dancing with Frank Zappa and Astor Piazzolla, each with a girl on their arm and Duke Ellington buying chasers at the bar…..... .. The Green Machine started life as Lau accordionist Martin Green’s commission piece for last year’s Celtic Connections’ New Voices series. Wild noise carvings, voices of unspoilt beauty and a brass band shrunken and mutated during their trip through time and space sit atop a backline of broken beat and ferocious groove. Girls, Brass, Beats and Accordions, they’ve got it all ! .. .. ..“Tirelessly effervescent and creative with outstanding solo features” (The Herald).... .. Green brings together some of the most prestigious and eclectic talent from England and Scotland to form a new collective: Edinburgh jazzer Sophie Bancroft shares vocal duties with recent .. ..Bonnie Prince Billy collaborator, Inge Thomson.... (also of Karine Polwart Band /Harem Scarem). Brass living legend Rick Taylor with Fergus Kerr (french horn) and Andy McKreel (tuba), both regular players with the SNO and other leading orchestras. Back-line is provided by Barnaby Stradling (Eliza Carthy, Blowzabella) and Ayrshire rhythm master Alyn Cosker. The many terrifying talents of Tom Cook include electronics, guitars, sound manipulation and live sampling (Tom is a producer of drum’n’bass and electronica, working out of his native Brighton under the name “Manni”). Add to this mix accordion problem child Martin Green playing .. ..accordion, samplers and more and you have the formidable new album “First Sighting”..... .. ........ .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..!!!
