Martin is unfortunately deceased (in the mid 80's, I think). He was an excellent jazz style drummer and played in our band & lived in my rented house in Leeds in the Hyde Park area for some time. He was a brilliant character & much was fun but was seemingly getting pre-disposed to 'deep-thinking' and more interested in Buddhism and if my memory serves me correct achieved and ambition to meet the Dalai Lama.
After parting company I met him again in Debenham's in Leeds in the early 80's (maybe 1982) & he told me he had been in Nottingham for a while and the next thing I heard he had hung himself from a tree in Roundhay Park in North Leeds...presuming this information given to me
was indeed correct. Martin was a super character and it is a shame that he had such a demise. What a great drummer he was!
Hi. It is truly interesting what you find on the internet! It is heartwarming to hear that people thought so highly of Martin. He was a remarkable man. I'd be interested to know more about how you knew him.
It's OK, Macbook, the intention is to have this site be on the internet for many many years to come and others, like myself, will find your comment heartwarming, as well.Thanks .
Yes. I was in Leeds mission UK. was there for 3 yrs. started with the basic study course, then the com course finally the HQS course. Forgotten most of the people that were there at the same time. Also Martin's brother!
