Martyn Bennett
"Bothy Culture"
A couple of years ago, Martyn Bennett released a rather indescribable album called "Bothy Culture" - a collection of folk music blended with all kinds of stuff - beats, spoken voice and goodness knows what else. Great and challenging to listen to. And it was recorded at "Mouth Music Chip Shop" - what a great name.
A bit like the Afro Celts but much more individual and experimental.
He has liner notes like... "This tune has only four notes, but I haven't worked out what they are."
and... "There are lots of Punjabi folks songs about Kali that have loads of sex and sweary words, but this isn't one of them. This is a party tune with a pile of twaddle over the top."
The good news is that his website has some free downloads. Click here.
(and I thought before today that he was a bloody Irishman! He's a Scot!)
