专辑简介

Martin, armed only with an acoustic guitar, several hundred Irish tunes and a comedic wit, has been winning fans over since 1986. Along with singing Irish standards like The Wild Rover, and Whiskey In The Jar with some classic ballads thrown in, Martin may be better known for his bawdy Sing-A-Longs, and his audience-participation songs. Raised in Co. Sligo, Ireland. He moved to Chicago in 1982. Three years later he joined the long established folk group called The Irish Minstrels, and later went on to play with the likes of Denis Allen, Martin Hayes, et. al. Martin played bass guitar, and sang with The Dublin City Ramblers during their 1988 U.S. tour, and was also a founding member of Stephen's Green. Since then, Martin has played from "Boolya to Ballymagash" and back again, and has thrice been asked to open for The Saw Doctors.
