Martyn was a founder member of Waterfall, with Keith Donnelly and Gilly Darbey, favourites of the folk scene from 1977-82. They appeared on TV several times, including a half hour “In Concert” special for BBC 1, Radios 1 and 2, Holland’s Hilversum 3, released 3 LP’s and toured throughout Europe and in Central America.
Through the ‘80’s, Martyn recorded two solo albums of his own songs and continued performing worldwide. (“Without doubt a thoughtful and talented songwriter who deserves interest” Rock ‘n’ Reel Issue 11).
He also played several small roles on TV, with credits including the BBC’s cult play “Another Flip For Dominick”, “The Benny Hill Show” and “Lytton’s Diary”.
In the ‘90’s, he recorded 3 CD’s and toured with German singer/songwriter Walter F. Diet. Comparing them to Lindisfarne, Rock ‘n’ Reel (Spring 2000) said “there’s an exuberance and real sense of fun that seems to run throughout the album – punchy, confident and unpretentious folk-flavoured rock”. 2003 saw a 25 year reunion tour with Keith Donnelly as Waterfall, and a new solo CD “The Bridge Of Broken Dreams” was released in 2006.
