Crying, Waiting, Hoping (full)

Martin & Lynn's first band was the Bo-Weevils, a early UK folk-rock outfit based on Merseyside in the mid-late 1960s. They played a mixture of British & American folk tunes (Leadbelly was a favourite!) together with songs by artists such as Carolyn Hester & Bob Dylan. Lynn was the main vocalist; Martin played guitar & sang harmonies.

Between 1970 & 1981, Martin was in Rock'n'Roll bands such as the Hot Rod Gang, The Sabrejets (who were signed to Blueport Music & achieved success in several countries) and Diesel & the Firebirds.

In 1991, the area Martin worked in suffered large-scale rioting. During the week of the riots, Lynn suggested that they sing through some of their favourite Rock'n'Roll songs to drive away the 'post-riot blues' and keep their spirits up during that stressful time. This evolved into the duo 'MG & Lynnette', who played many gigs in both the traditional pub/club venues in the North-East of England and venues and many care homes, prison and festivals.

Recordings made at that time are only now being released in 2014, on the 20-track album 'Acoustic Roots of Rock'n'Roll.

Martin has also supported Lynn's solo work on guitar, with her traditional album 'Greenwood Side' (based on her Bo-Weevils repertoire & released in 2007) and her covers album, 'Off-Grid' (released in 2011).
