Martin & James @ The Listening Room (03/01/09)

It was a triumphant home coming for the local lads who have been wowing audiences across Europe with their tight vocal harmonies and flawless songs. The guys returned home after spending 6 month recording their debut album in Germany which also saw them sign a deal with Universal Records in Germany.

Their biggest audience so far turned out to welcome them home. Opening for the lads was local singer songwriter Gary Miller who has shown in the past that he has a knack for writing a classic pop song. Keep an eye out for Gary. He really is a great entertainer.

Martin & James were joined by their piano player Stuart and played a set that show exactly why they were snapped up by Universal. Songs like Bloom, Broken Sword, Crashing Into Love, I was Blind and All Over The News have instant classic written all over them. The interaction between the guys is perfectly in tune and shows an understanding that sets them apart from anything else out there. A standing ovation saw the guys leave the stage leaving everyone wanting more. Quite simply a stunning set by a band that will be on many peoples lips in 2009.
