This was an unbelievably great evening. Martyn is an entertainer of the highest calibre and we were so lucky to have been there last evening.

Even after being on the road all day and started his performance very shortly after that long drive this man kept all of us, and we did end up with a respectable number, absolutely enthralled for the whole evening. I have a suspicion that, if he and his wife Dani hadn't had to leave to keep up with their schedule, he might have carried on a lot longer - he certainly seemed to be enjoying himself as much as we were enjoying listening to him. No CDs for sale - he had run out - so I'm glad that I got mine when I saw him in Camden a couple of weeks ago. I think he website may take a few hits from our crowd.

I think that Maeve may have got a list of the songs that he sang. His storytelling and humour are superb and he even had Kendall laughing at some of his humourous poetry and stories. His obvious love of Australia comes across in a lot of the songs and stories he tells and gave a real glimpse of a fascinating country and its people.

I only wish that they could have spent a bit longer with us, so that we could show them some real Maine hospitality. I'm hoping that we might entice Martyn and Dani back for another concert next time he's over and, given enough notice, maybe we'll get some Mudcatters to come visit for the concert - this man is well worth travelling to see!
