About Me

Martin & James are the Glasgow born duo of Martin Kelly and James Oâ€™Neill. They write beautiful songs in the grand tradition of The Beatles, The Stones and Crowded House. For fans of melody and the sound of two male voices working together in a way that hasnâ€™t been heard since Simon & Garfunkel took a bow. They are unsigned and writing songs like madmen while they hone their craft to perfection. Check the blog for the full bio..

Here is a film of us playing live in Berlin. There were 2 Neumann room mics facing us and two panasonic mini-dv cameras. The edit was done by Kai, who directed, and Sven was second camera, lights and sound. The sound went through a field mixer and directly onto the camera with the picture. There is no studio trickery here, this is how we sound in the flesh. See www.youtube.com/martinandjames for more live videos.
