Marti was invited to join the band by bassist Graeme Clark who knew him from school where Marti would hang around the bike sheds with the smokers, impersonating Paul Young, Boy George and Michael Jackson songs.
Marti (whose real name is Mark McLachlan - Marti being his school nickname and Pellow being his mother's maiden name) - was born 23 March 1965 in Glasgow, the second of two sons to Margaret and John McLachlan. Of all the Wets, Marti was probably the best known and the most loved, mostly noted for his handsome features and soulful vocal talents.
On Tuesday 11 May 1999, it was announced in the British press that Marti Pellow had decided to leave Wet Wet Wet to pursue a solo career.
