After a career in nursing for 30 years cut short by his brain tumour, a rhabdoid meningioma, Martyn now focuses on performing as a musician, Stand-up Comedian and as a street performer and an award winning clown, performing in Romania, Monaco, The Azores, across Europe and extensively in the UK.
He teaches ukulele and plays in several busy working bands. He has had cameo roles in TV shows such as ‘Life’s too short, ‘Birds of a feather’ and ‘Citizen Khan’ amongst other television and film work including being a stand in for Hagrid on some Harry Potter films, and after his brain surgery toured his one man show ‘Too busy living to be dying’.
Martyn still plays music as often as he can and is involved with The Disappointing Clown Company whenever he is able, both as a creative consultant and as a performer at such events annually as Glastonbury Festival, Children’s World Festival and The Grand Northern Ukulele Festival. He lives in Berkshire and got married in September. He is very tall and quite hairy. He was delighted to be part of the opera at Garsington and to be involved in putting together the poetry anthology.
