Hello.
I am Martin Charles Burchill Valentine. History records that someone called me was here born in 1970 but I prefer to think it was October 1983. This is my fifth life - it started on September 12 2005. So far this has the potential to be the best one.
I'm here to share my songs with you. I will when I've finished them. That could take a while. In the meantime, I'll put up some old tunes to amuse you. Enjoy.
We changed our name to DON BROCO today and just wanted to let you know. Don�t worry its still the same line up and tunes and we�re currently writing some new songs that we�ll be playing on tour later this year. Keep an eye on our profile as things are gonna be pretty busy from now on. Hope to see you at a show soon.
Cheers mate, that may have just elevated you to top friends status! Once Guy gets back from Norway or wherever we need to sort recording dates for July, I'm really looking forward to getting into the studio!
Thanks for coming and hopefully we shall be back soon! if not, then our next current Nottingham date is in September @ the Maze. hope you can make it with a few friends.

Ps, yes, ill probably be at J7. DDF are playing, so there's actually a band I like this time! No doubt I'll see you and your wondrous judging sheet there
Hopefully Forest and Rotheram will join forces to give me a nice early present... Whilst I'm heading up to north wales for a sodding wedding. Finegers crossed
Hi there, thank you for the add request :) I really like your music, especially the intro to guilty. Keep up the good work, maybe see you around Notts sometime..
