#4 - marty

Born and bred in lovely west Belfast, Marty grew up a very pissed off wee boy. He was deafened by the mumps in his right ear before he even realized he was alive. He borrowed his uncle's cheap classical guitar at 13 when told he couldn't learn drums-although he liked how they sounded, his mum didn't. Anxious to get out of the black hole of the Falls Road he studied hard, got to Dundee and after 2 failed bands moved in with Chris who showed him the light.
