With the recent performance and subsequent TV broadcast of Martyn Bennett’s GRIT from the opening ceremony of Celtic Connections 2015, there’s been a lot of attention on Martyn and his music in the last few weeks.

But we couldn’t let today pass – the 10th anniversary of Martyn’s death – without marking the occasion.

Martyn took the soul and passion of the roots of Scottish music, and planted them in a modern, electronic world.

Sadly we only had the opportunity to work with Martyn towards the end of his music-making. I loved how he created and handled his work. There was always a mix of intense emotion, compassion and pride, served on a bed of atmosphere and rhythm.” Peter Gabriel

Martyn Bennett, a rare talent, still sadly missed.
