Martin was brilliant not only a great musician and singer but so personable, it was great to hear his stories and reason as to why he played songs in a certain way. It’s the first time I’ve been to Metronome - what an amazing space.

Really enjoyable engaging funny and great singer and guitarist. If he had a full band he would with Prefabs back catalogue fill much bigger venues. He ought to try a few select gigs with a band. But the evening was excellent well done Mr McAloon.

A thought-provoking tribute to his brother, who can no longer perform due to illness, gave the concert a unique feel. This made up for some of Martin's self-acknowledged singing and guitar-playing limitations. To start singing at 60 is no mean feat. The guitar playing was enjoyable, combining George Benson and Zoot Horn Rolo. Martin quickly established and maintained a good rapport with the audience, and while his brother had other genetic advantages, Martin got the comedy gene.
