Eddie Martin is really pleased to announce his first DVD release. The footage is all live from the one-man-band and band sets at one of the best venues on the international circuit, the Wharf Arts Centre Tavistock. He chose to video there because the stage is well lit and the sound is always great and of course the crowd have never let them down either. He is really happy with the way the performance came out. It was about the second gig for the new bass player Bill Banwell and he did a great job, as did Tim on drums, as always.
The dvd features
a 20 minute solo set and 34 minute band set. The tracks are some of your favourites
from live shows and the odd surprise. For example, there is a previously unreleased
song, “Let it Slide”, in the band set. The song titles are "Someone's
Making Money" (and I know it isn’t me), “Little Queen of Spades”,
“Shake Your Hips”, “One Man Band Rag”. In the band set
there are extended live versions of “Early in the Morning” (Muddy
Waters), Eddie's own songs of “Let it Slide” and “Selfish Guy”
– those three are all electric slide guitar, then he switches to his
Gibson 335 for “Put the Brakes on” and “Cherry Red”. There
is 54 minutes of music in all .

The readership poll of the UK’s biggest circulation blues magazine, “Blues Matters”, has voted “Contrary Mary” to position 17 of World Blues CD releases and position 7 of UK Blues cd releases in 2007. Coming in at position 17 of the world charts placed it above the releases of many major label artists like the White Stripes and John Mayall.
The full results are published in the current issue of Blues Matters Magazine (www.bluesmatters.com)
The magazine also contains an interview and picture feature which introduces Eddie as follows ““Since turning professional in the mid 90’s, Eddie has become one of the British Blues scene’s most prolific performers. A rare British act capable of headlining any major UK Blues event, Eddie has gained industry recognition for his song writing and accolades for his guitar and harmonica work. Nine releases in twelve years would suggest an artist enjoying the fruits of his creative talents, but 2007’s “Contrary Mary” not only found Eddie exploring broader musical influences, but hoping to gain the widespread appreciation that would pay him his dues…”
