Hello everyone, I’m now posting about gardening at Insta as gardenwithmartyn please do give me a follow - it would be great to see you there. https://t.co/svkNhXCl9C

This is about as close to goth that I ever got. Probably 1986 or thereabouts #WorldGothDay

Very excited to see @mercuryrevvd are returning to my home town next March to play @WedgewoodRooms The last time in 2018 was a magical experience

Tuesday night in Southampton. The amazing @DAIISTARR from Texas with psychedelic sextet Sierpinski (featuring my lad Louis). See ya down the front…

Before and after. Burning of the wicker man at last night’s #Beltane event @butserfarm

Psych rock/shoegaze sextet Sierpinski (featuring my son on guitar) have just dropped a new video 👇Please give it a watch, but not if you’re trying to give up smoking…

I spent Sat morning mooching around the record fair @the1865 in Southampton. Dug out Godz II (1969 UK first press) and this self-titled gem by The Charlatans (‘83 French repress) #vinyladdict #vinylcommunity #garagerock #records

Delighted to see The Coal Porters are playing my hometown, but sad to see @SidCPsGriffin has left @thelongryders on the eve of their 40th anniversary

Now that’s what you call spring zing. An accidental (presumably) combination of photinia and osteospermum in a communal front garden near Southsea seafront

Happy birthday to Iggy Pop, born on this day in 1947. I’ve had this copy of Mojo for 24 years and still the silver scratch panel on the cover is intact #iggypop

Somebody had been queuing for 27hrs at Pie & Vinyl for #RecordStoreDay2024 but I rocked up at 5am today for these beauts - @JanelWeaver , Goat & a soundtrack by Lionel Liminana & David Menke.

Osteospermum, exochorda, penstemons & azaleas coming up with me this morning on Ideal World…I’m live on the gardening show from 10am @IdealWorldTV

Remembering #KurtCobain on the 30th anniversary of his passing. Of all the bands I’ve loved, Nirvana were the one I’ve been most invested in. On the evening of April 5 ‘94, I remember watching TV in my flat in Nottm and crying when his death was announced on the news

Getting ready for three hours of gardening on Ideal World. We’re live from 10am.

Proud dad moment watching my Louis play with Sierpinski at the Wedgewood Rooms last night

Saturday night in Southsea. My eldest will be headlining @WedgewoodRooms with psych rock sextet Sierpinski. Support from @FuzzClub Dead Rabbits, The Straight Jakkets & Number 9. A tenner for four bands!

Ready for a 3 hr gardening show on @IdealWorldTV 10-1pm

Wordle 905 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩I haven’t played Wordle in months. I had an urge to play this morning and decided to break tradition and use a different opening word. Guess what? My old opening word was word of the day! Gah!
