BBC Scotland - Island Blogging

Martyn Bennett

Posted: Monday, 07 February 2005

The great folk-fusion musician Martyn Bennett died a week last Sunday after a long battle with cancer.

Martyn was a favourite son of the island of Mull. Here at Island Blogging we had been featuring his album 'Grit' as our Gallery prize for several weeks.

You can listen to a tribute to him from Radio Scotland's Celtic Connections programme here.
