Talking of Music Millennium. It was my immense pleasure to perform in store on Sunday 20^th October. It was my sixth time playing the special feature event hosted by Terry Currier and MM staff. A lovely afternoon was capped by receiving an unexpected recording of the show. So, 'Martin Weller Live in America 2013' is now available direct from me :) 17 tracks including a mix of my songs from the last fifteen years or so. Plus old favs from Ray Davies, Billy Bragg and Tom Robinson.

That's all for now folks!

Happy Holidays to you and yours and thank you for your indulgence :)

News - Weller solo album and perhaps a CRUSH UK reunion?

Introducing 'Gobshite' by Martin Weller.

Gobshite is my first solo record, but it was recorded with a lot of help from my friends :) Thirteen original tracks plus a few of my favourite songs by folks who shall not be named less I get sued! Check them out now @ Youtube - TheMartinWeller and Soundcloud.com/martin-weller
You can e-mail me now for a copy, prices, etc. mwcweller@gmail.com

'Gobshite' the album and individual tracks are available from crushuk.com

These are the first songs that I have written since CRUSH UK parted in October 2011. After our trip to Oregon September 2011 I decided it was time to change and my favourite project needed a rethink before it got stale.

I still play many of the Crush classics in my solo set, with The Kniks and Big 'Ed, but I reckon it's time to get another band together to bring some the old songs back to life and provide a platform to play tracks from 'Gobshite' and future recordings.

Whilst I seek members for the next Crush, Mr Dudley has suggested a reunion of sorts at his birthday bash in October. More of all this as the story unfurls.....


Meanwhile

CRUSHUK.com is our legacy and gateway to the future perhaps and we hope will help to keep our spirit alive :) We are very proud of our recordings, some of which you can listen to on the Audio page and buy our CDs and downloads at the Download Store.

Please enjoy the pictures, videos, sense and nonsense on the message board and do buy our CDs and downloads because, actually they are very good indeed :)

We have more CRUSH UK and other band videos on Youtube - search and subscribe to 'TheMartinWeller' and 'Yhaalhouse'

My solo shows featuring CRUSH UK cuts of course, BobKatZ, Big 'Ed & The Red Rockers and The Kniks are keeping me gainfully employed. Dave is in his bunker recording future classics and Rick is out there somewhere.

CRUSHUK.com hosts our show information http://www.crushuk.com/gigs.html

Stay tuned for more rock and roll :) Martin
