About Me

Hello and welcome. My name is Martyn, I’m 27. Born, bred, raised and educated in Nottingham. I'm a freelance bassist (double bass and electric bass), and have the good fortune of performing regularly with some great musicians, many of whom you can find through this site. I studied Jazz at Birmingham Conservatoire, graduating in 2007 with a lovely BMus (Hons). Whilst Jazz plays a prominent role in my musical interests, I have strong roots in Rock, Pop, Funk & Hip Hop and I appreciate all musical styles. I'm also an instrumental tutor, predominantly bass guitar, and I teach both privately and in schools in Nottingham. You can find further details through my website:- http://www.martynspencer.com
