DO SOMETHING, MARTIN! TONIGHT
Tonight I'm doing a preview of the first half of the one-man musical thing I'm taking up to the Edinburgh Festival in August. It'll be a bit of a mess but there are some jolly new songs, and some old ones that have been round the block a bit now. Here's a new one, it's a demo of the ridiculously jaunty title song that I wrote and recorded when it was being pitched as a radio idea:
Do Something, Martin!
Features the obligatory trademark falsetto lalalalas, though it won't tonight as they're backing vocals. There won't be any timpani either. It needs a second verse. What other people are famous for inaction? Doesn't matter if they're really obscure, in fact it's funnier if they are.
The show is at Ryan's Bar on Stoke Newington Church Street, starts at 8.30pm and is FREE.

Last night, no doubt influenced by the news that John Hurt is playing Albert Einstein in Indiana Jones 4, I dreamt that I was in a sketch playing Carl Sagan opposite Robin Ince playing Einstein. Robin was getting annoyed that I couldn't do the voice properly.
