MARTIN MESSENT: Blues For Plankton

I have been playing and recording original material solo and in various line ups since 1991. My sound takes in folk, jazz, blues and alt. country, influenced by songwriters like Bob Dylan, Beck and Van Morrison, at the same time digging Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Nick Drake, and composers Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington.

My current band includes Steve Thompson on double bass and Giles Gobat on drums. I've played with (among others) Buster Cottam (The Hat, Lou Rhodes), Grant Allardyce (Super Collider, Mountain Firework Company), Mark Treffel (Blue States, Astrid Williamson), Mike Simmonds (Alice Russell, Natureboy), Ben Lee (Heritage Orchestra) and Martin Harley (Martin Harley Band).

I've recorded two albums: 'Saw The Sun', released in January 2007 on independent label Round The Corner... You can buy it here

Buy Now!

and here:

MAB: Saw The Sun

...and 'Blues for Plankton', released end of August 2008, available from CD Baby now! I also recorded an EP 'Bye Bye Blackbird' in 2002, and several cassette albums between 1994 and 1999, but who's counting?

In the last four years I've played sets at both Glastonbury and Bestival, written an arrangement for a live collaboration between The Hat and the London Swingfonia big band which was performed at Glastonbury 2005 in the Lost Vagueness ballroom, together with dates at popular Brighton venues such as The Greys, Sallis Benney and Pavilion theatres, Sanctuary Cella and The Hope, as well as the 12 Bar Club, Betsey Trotwood and Green Note in London.

I am also part of the Sound Tank collective, set up in October 2004 to provide a focus for quality, original music where bands play their own material and get paid fairly. It has hosted artists including Lou Rhodes, Cate Ferris, Martin Harley and Jon Thorne. Musicians in the collective lend their skills to each others' projects, creating a network from which recording and live collaborations grow. It attracted Brighton and Hove Grassroots Arts Commission funding in 2006 to produce a sampler CD of nine collective bands.

Alas, no womanly need to make all things better regardless of whether they are just fine to begin with, could possibly remedy the state of your being a man.

Frankly, I'm stumped. I may need to tidy the house and set out to find new shoes just to clear my mind. Boo hoo.
