About Martin Green

Being born into a musical family was of little help to me as I ended up taking up the piano-accordion anyway. I have had the good fortune of being musical henchman for the likes of Eliza Carthy, Linda Thompson, Joan Baez, Kathryn Tickell, The Be Good Tanyas and a host more talented fools that have hired me. Notice the above are all girls?
I’m nobody’s fool.

I do a few things with and without the accordion:

Lau
Lau play modern Scottish folk music, a trio made up of Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle), Kris Drever (guitar/vocals) and me. They have an album out on Reveal Records and an extensive international touring schedule.
For me info on Lau please visit www.lau-music.co.uk or their Myspace .

Joe Townsend and Martin Green
Joe Townsend (master of bizarre and beautiful violin music) and I play our own confusion of tripped-out bong folk and heavy eastern groove. Joe and I are currently involved in a show for renowned opera company Opera North based on the music of Tom Waits.
The show sees us collaborating with contemporary composition genius Gavin Bryars. JT and MG Album for sale from CHAT Music. Tracks on the Myspace

The Green Machine
A terrible medium for my own sick compositions. Girls, brass and kaos pads, it's all there. Try using "Horse" from the noise window or flap to www.thegreenmachinemusic.co.uk for free MP3s (ooooh)

Composition Work
People also get me to write music for them and I like that. I have scored and been musical director for several theatre shows. In 2006 I was commissioned by Celtic Connections festival to write a piece for their “New Voices” series.

If you’re still reading, sorry.

I just couldn't make it to Birnam, had to leave the country few days before (you know how things go with us illegal immigrants, we can never stay anywhere for long LOL), was vexed. :*( I bet it was a cracker! Let me know when the post-marriagefeast folkie parcel from Slovyland arrives. I'm afraid custom folk is going to sample the goodies before Ewen gets a chance. :o) Love to y'all, KAT XXX

WalkaboutsVerse	Mar 30 2008 2:24 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace - 2 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003 76 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: LAND RIGHTS If there is a good thing From the Second World War It’s that most peoples learnt To conquer lands no more. In Africa, Asia, And the Pacific, too: Post-war independence - Steps only bigots rue. But for some indigenes, Outnumbered much-too-much, It has all come too late For liberty, as such. So ‘tis in Australia, And America’s sites, Where the best now, I think, Is to respect land rights. (C) David Franks 2003
