My Martha News: Its been a while again... big update though!

Its been a while again... big update though!

I do feel a bit bad for not posting so much these days- but as I probably said in my last post... I feel like the Martha news is getting out there especially through Facebook and so not sure how much this blog is needed.... Anyway, I still feel attached to it so will do a little (possibly big) update now.... Let me know what you think about me keeping on updating and what like and don't like.... I can definitely update it more regularly- such as when I see an article or hear any news... I find enough excuses to keep me away from my museum course stuff and two jobs as it is now!

Ok, so I have been lucky enough to see a couple of Martha's recent UK shows- London, Shepherds Bush Empire on Sunday 2nd Dec and St Georges Church, Brighton yesterday on Friday 7th Dec.... It has been lovely to see the nice reviews of Martha's UK Tour and I just think Martha gets better and better (no pressure attached there- They can get a bit worse too and I still won't mind!) Both the venues I went to were great and had a good intimate feel to them, there was a great mix of songs old and new and band and solo pieces.... Shall not bore you more.....

Anyone else at the above or other Europe shows and have something to say about them? Don't forget to go to Martha's Official Forum and have a chat (like I should do now!) as well as of course check out Martha's Official Website for other links and live dates- and as mentioned above- follow her on Facebook- loads of stuff such as pics from on the road are posted there.... And of course feel free to make any (nice) comments about anything below in the comments box.....

Here are a few notable reviews, pics and interviews of the past month or two:
