My live album

So… I’m doing 8 gigs a week. Sounds like a Beatles song!

Steps is brilliant, as always. Lovely people, a little bit mad (but in a good way). I use my big PA system here, and the sound is like putting on a warm coat in the winter!! The staff are excellent, and the beers are cold!!

Jack’s on Wednesday afternoon is a nice gig. It’s early (4pm), and has a very chilled out vibe going on. I think I’m catching people as they’ve just headed out!

The Padel Club reminds me so much of playing in Cullin’s Yard, Dover years ago. I love Sunday afternoon gigs. I can wear my sunglasses!!

See you at a gig soon…

We’re only in April, and the gigs are in full swing. After a long winter, it’s great to get back to it.

Steps is great and busy as always.

Jack’s on Wednesdays, I play before a band in the afternoon. It’s a really nice chilled out vibe.

The Padel Club has turned into a brilliant Sunday afternoon gig. As soon as I finish, it’s straight round to Steps for the evening.

I hope to see you at a gig soon. Here’s to a great summer.

Martin.

It’s been a strange start to the new year for me.

My Dad passed away in December. We were very close.

A very good friend of mine told me that our parents want us to be happy, and to get out and get on with life. As sad as I am, she’s right.

I’ll be in Steps Bar from March.

In the meantime I’ll be in Albufeira Padel Club on Sunday afternoons, and I’ll be doing the odd restaurant gig where my mate, Chef Andy takes over the kitchen.

Happy New Year, everyone. I hope to see you at a gig soon.
