Mar 2nd MARTYN JOSEPH + Flossie Malavialle

Martyn Joseph is a singer-songwriter from South Wales who has won fans and followers far and wide. Originally hailing from Penarth, Martyn Joseph reached the charts with his 1992 single Dolphins Make Me Cry. But this is a singer-songwriter with more than two decades of performing behind him.Now releasing music on his own label after spells with Sony and Grapevine, Martyn finally now has the creative control and total artistic freedom to do as he pleases. Having built a loyal following through tours and earlier releases, he says this is his preferred way of working: "The major advantage is complete control and creative freedom: if I write ten songs next week and like them, I'm not dependent on Robbie William's diary or Madonna's film schedule for when it gets released. I can just put them out myself, there is this audience of people who want them.

Having toured and appeared with artists including Suzanne Vega, Joan Armatrading, Jools Holland and Art Garfunkel, Martyn Joseph's position as a singer-songer of enduring talent seems assured. "Really what I do is try and write songs that might make a difference," says Martyn of his work. Hailed by occasional writing partner Tom Robinson as "one of the most charismatic and electrifying performers in Britain today", his songs often use lyrical narrative forms to speak to his audience on subjects ranging from social injustice to the joys and pains of love. In this he follows a line of social commentators in song ranging from Woody Guthrie to Bruce Springsteen.
