macca Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Bless him. Loved listening to those intros. Before he plays the wonderful Lee Andrews he says something about a break from jocking. Did this happen? The man's boundless enthusiasm and love for the music also came across in SWONS. Out of the many talking heads, his was one of the ones I enjoyed the most. The only jock to come near him in unbridled energy terms is/was Tony Dellar from Cambridge. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mr Fred Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) My old mate Martyn, Used to knock about with him quite a lot. Martyn passed away 18/9/2002.Much too early. He used to go out with Liz from Huddersfield for a time.He was one of the largest characters on the scene.Talk about a Dj when he was on at the Torch his words would all flow into one but he was up there with the best i.m.o.He Once Dj'd for me at the Frobisher suite and turned up with bits of toilet roll stuck all over his face as he'd cut himself shaving. Seriously though he's sadly missed and have many memories of him in many places. Always a pleasure to be in his company Regards Fred.

Petedillon Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Loved him the lunatic! ‘Another Martyn Ellis cock-up’ spent a very interesting train journey with him from Manchester to Stoke one Sunday after a Central all-nighter. Crazy. May well have been to that Hanley all-dater Pete Smith mentioned. Edited August 17, 2019 by PeteDillon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Debbie68x Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I am 53 years old i met Martyn when I was 17 he was my first love. I was with him for a year. It was the best year of my life. Oh I miss that man xx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
