Martin is a very well known box player from Co. Galway, who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1950s. His reputation as a composer of jigs and reels skyrocketed as soon as his first tunes hit the Irish music scene, although many of his reels were played for years without anyone being
aware of the fact that they came from Martin’s imagination.
