NB In case any of you are coming to this page from a search engine and are soon to send me an angry post-download email for screwing up the categorisation of your mp3 collection, this is not the Marty Cook of Long Island, jazz trombonist fame - it's the Marty Cook of North East England, singer/guitarist, still-owes-me-a-pint fame. But try these out anyway - you might be pleasantly surprised. And if enough of you try them out and send Marty enough glowing feedback, I might just get that pint. Someday.
Six bits of smoky bar room stuff, with Marty singing and playing acoustic guitar accompanied by Chris Rodel on fretless and upright bass. All these files are 128kbps MP3s, so they're not of the highest quality - but hopefully good enough for you to hear what Marty's doing.
You can contact Marty at martycook733@msn.com if you're interested in the music (he'd be happy to hear what you think); if you have any questions or issues concerning this web page, send feedback to me instead.
