Greg Lawson's orchestration of the Classic Martyn Bennet album 'Grit' has been getting rave reviews.

It's well worth revisiting Colin Moody's perfect little blog piece on Martyn, from four years ago: http://www.colinmoody.com/Site_2/Blog/Entries/2010/6/13_Mushroom_Picking,_M...

(Hope you don't mind, Colin)

Caught it on the TV last night and loved it. I'd never heard the album and don't really go for folk electronica, but the orchestration was superb.

Martyn was a lovely wee guy.

He lived ,and died, about a mile from me.

Bought my first van from him many moons ago .1998 I think.

Thought it was great. The singer on Move was superb.
Also, everyone seemed to be enjoying thieves.
In reply to Douglas Griffin:

Saw Martyn Bennett at Cambridge Folk Festival way back, he had the place jumping. Bought "Bothy Culture" and he signed it for me.

Sad to hear of his passing.
