Greetings pop pickers.
I am Martin Weller, singer, guitarist, award winning songwriter, guitar, ukulele and vocal coach, band manager, recording and sound engineer, roadie, publicist, record producer, radio presenter and singing competition judge :)
I enjoy success performing solo and with my bands CRUSH UK and pop/punk outfit BobKatZ.
CRUSH UK are celebrating 10 years together. To mark the occasion, our best of collection '99_09' is available now at www.crushuk.com
In my 'spare time' I listent o music, play pool, drink Red Stripe and 'Buckie' and worry about the world and all the stuff I can't change :)
A lifelong passionate love affair with music started when I heard 'Hello Dolly' by Louis Armstrong in 1960 something.
I started playing guitar aged 11 and have been writing songs since I was 13.
I enjoy a fabulous life and having grafted and ridden my luck I now play music full time and will continue to do so as long as my health holds out.
I kicked off my 'music career' proper in 1977 with Jason Rolf and Jon Cozens in 'XS2' then into 'Synopsis' adding Tim Routledge on vocals.
'Staring into Space' was born in the early 80s with ‘Face’ aka Adam Gummer, Alan Hyde, Val Whittaker and Chris Lee among others coming and going over the years.
'The Fear' (1989) with Brian Viner and Buzz et al was a pretty damned good hard rock band that took too many drugs and disappeared up its own arse.
Along the way I’ve been involved in other weird and wonderful projects.
At the end of the last century I wrote, recorded and toured extensively for 6 years as half of the Frampton Weller duo as well as enjoying international success with the Frampton Weller band & CRUSH UK.
I am well proud of my albums: 'Quiddity', ‘Frampton Weller’, 'Pay Attention', 'Changing by Degrees', 'Crush', 'Critical', 'Meaning Of Life' and 'the New Big Thing'.
I have had the immense pleasure to have performed with some of the best in the business: Led Zeppelin, Peter Frampton, Dean Friedman, Frampton Weller, Chris Slade, Lara Conley, Lucie Diamond, Counterfeit Stones, T-Rextasy, Wizz Jones, Benny Gallagher, Leanie Kaleido, Crush, Isaac Guillory, CRUSH UK, Skinny Molly and more.
Music rules my life.
“God gave rock and roll to you” - which is good coming from an atheist ;)
