    He's performing at his peak, bursting with emotion and vitality, doing what he loves, and proud of it. A true joy to hear.

    Absolutely fantastic ❤️ I had the honor of listening to Martin tell this story at the Glen Hansen concert last night in Glasgow. Wonderful storyteller - the audience were glued to his every word.

    Well I think you are totally amazing...love the way you bring your stories through...the depth of your mythical understanding and ability to share it is so profound ...how the language rolls off your tongue...what a gift.

    to think that puss in boots cost 100 million dollars, and this guy outdisneyed them with a drum and bells for a full hour.

    Oooohh I'm going to come back to this when I am sitting by the fire and knitting with nothing else to do. LOVED his story/teling at the schumacher birthday celebration in Totnes recently so want to give this the space it deserves.

    I wonder what stories Martin might tell at a wake or a funeral if he were asked to
