Wes Martin, I write songs and paint. Not at the same time.
I wrote a song per week in '11 as Ukuleleboy (despite rarely using one, I know!!). I still write and record songs, annd post them on here. Hope you enjoy listening.

Recover The Sunlight
Mar 28, 201700:04:00Tap to summarizeA downbeat song. A few Nick drake inspired chord changes. Unravel the Moonlight Unfollow the day Recover the sunlight It's showing the way You'll spend the whole time alone, alone You'll bring the whole world home, today. Words undone together Lives falling apart Keep fighting the moment Go back to the start. You'll spend the whole time alone, alone You'll bring the whole world home, today. Written and performed by Wes Martin

The Life and Times of The Real Charlie Cheese (wk 65/104)
Apr 11, 201500:04:25Tap to summarizeA few years back I had the pleasure of performing some live music to my mate Ollie's art performance as The Real Charlie Cheese. This is a new piece, and for me it evokes that particular character. Charlie is a modern day jester, fool, pied piper, call him what you will. He nods back to Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel n Hardy....bygone heroes. Ollie's stuff.. http://www.free-range.org.uk/cgi-bin/portfolio.pl?yearID=7&exhibitionID=74&memberID=3168

Mar 27, 201500:01:44Tap to summarizeWhen I did this weekly song project first time around in '11, Bert Jansch sadly passed away. This time, the news of John Renbourn passing away reached me today. A true guitar hero and songwriter, founder member of Pentangle, teacher, solo performer. Amazing dude. I luckily had occasion to meet him a couple of times, sweet guy. RIP This is a song I wrote this morning thinking about his passing
