Martin

Hi, my name is Martin (sometimes known to a select few people as Bogwoppit-Don't ask!) I lOVE TEA! I'm a 20 year old music student. I'm starting to write some acoustic/folk solo stuff, but that may take a long while, and is purely for my own satisfaction and to prove that i can actually write and play my own personal material.

I also play the Bass guitar, tin whistle and Low Whistle. I have a peculiar (to some) pastime in driving traction engines and steam rollers, and maintaining them and their asociated equipment and im building a miniature engine, but thats also rather a long term project.

I am a folky at heart (Irish blood) and anything with Acoustic guitars, Fiddles, Tin Whistles etc, will get me listening! However i also like metal, but i listen to all sorts. Ludovico Einaudi, Lunasa and Bill Withers are current favourites

I dont really know where my life is going at the moment, but i am aiming for a career in the music industry.

My friends mean the world to me, they've put up with a lot of shit for me and im unbelievably grateful to them for it, unspeakably grateful.

I cant stand politics, the very thought of it aggrevates me, i hate the world in its current state, its so unbelievably fucked up and in a way i want absolutely nothing to do with it. I hate shitty laws against freedom, i hate shitty laws in general-For instance the smoking ban, the current debate on raising the legal drinking age to 21 to bring us in line with the US and the Two musicians in a bar law-it's ruining people's social lives (which in some cases is all they have going for them) and it's killing live music.

I can be the life of the party, or the death of it. I have spent the vast majority of this year dealing with some stomach problems. I don't go out to clubs much anymore. I Gave up drinking alcohol about 3 months ago, and haven't touched a drop since. Think of this what you will, but i can't physically drink anymore, so whats the point if it's only making me feel like shite? I like to sit in a pub beer garden in the summer though with a cool refreshing drink. Besides, there's better drinks to be drank, such as tea :P

I have quite an obsessive personality i guess, i either love something or hate it-there's rarely a happy medium-and i think abut things too much. Im paranoid, I'm a bag of nerves and i worry about everything all the time. This is not good, but i cant help it.

I enjoy watching the world go by whilst i sit in the middle of nowhere and just contemplate things.

I am a dead nice person, far too trusting, i will help anyone who needs it and statistically i am more likely to fuck myself over backwards before i could even think about fucking you over.

I think that's everything, but if you want to know more, message me or leave me a comment!
