In ’96 Martin, a singer and a bassplayer had so much gigs, he had to give up Taxi driving and binding books and eversince has been a full pro musician in different Trio’s, mainly with acoustic instruments, playing hits between the 50s to the 90s. Up untill 2022 he was succesfully touring with Trio “De Swingers”.
