New fan!

Hi all

Watched Martina on Later with Jools Holland last night... what a woman!

Love Carnies, total breath of fresh air. Ordered the first album straight after... I had heard of her before but never actually heard any of her stuff... so glad I'm no longer ignorant to her. Looking forward to album #2!

Have a feeling I'll be listening the album to a lot over the next couple of months - have my finals at uni, so think she'll be just the trick to get through them :)

I watched Jules Holland show too,,Im afraid that the first song was drowned out by the band,I think Martina told them to quieten down a bit for 2nd song ,which I think they did...
Martina is a lot better than what came across on the Jules Holland show....Martina has great voice,but I think it would be better for Martina if she had Duffys backing band behind her,,they were excellent ,tight sound ,great musicians and didnt drown Duffys voice..
I think Jules said the coming cd was Martinas debut cd ,but of course it is her 2nd....I dont realy think that the Jules Holland show did Martina any favours.....; ▶ Reply to This

I am also a new fan of Martina. I saw her last Saturday in the opening of Massive Attack gig in Bucharest.

She was so cute and her voice really impressed me.
I just love her song Baby Blue which I know that it's also her fave song.; ▶ Reply to This

It was a pleasure to meet you in Geneva at the Palladium for the Zebramix show.

I really enjoyed the bootlegs of your songs, and it pushed me to listen to the originals... and they're great!

See you next month in Paris (don't forget to bring your stuff for the merch!)

I saw Martina at ATP in December and she converted me from someone who liked her from her work with Tricky to a huge fan. She was great and it is rare to see someone who is even better live than recorded, she is a really funny woman too and I had a great time. Plus she had Andy Cox there too, excellence indeed/; ▶ Reply to This

My name is Shauna.
Like all of you, I too, am a new fan of Martina.
I heard her music awhile back. And then rediscovered her again after listening to Massive Attacks new album Heligoland where, Martina was featured in two of their songs.
I have yet to see her live.
I would love to someday!; ▶ Reply to This
