Hi! I'm Martin Smith - welcome
to my website. I'm a guitarist (first and foremost), a singer and a songwriter.
My influences are diverse and I love to play different
styles. However my greatest passion is for the blues. That
encompasses blues in all it's wonderful and diverse forms -
roots, jazz, rock, soul etc.
I work as a solo blues
artist (with or without my backing band, THE RED HOUSE BLUES
BAND). I also front the rock band SKYHUNTER. I also take on
deps and session work.
On these pages you can find
information about my current musical projects, listen to
sample tracks, get information about gigs, leave comments,
contact me etc.
I take a limited number
of pupils for guitar and singing lessons. You can enquire
about these through the contact details on this site.
I also call on my
background in both the performing arts and in the business
world (I'm an ex-management consultant with an MBA) to
provide creativity coaching and facilitation services.
This
site is currently under construction, so please bear with me
while links and details are being added. (Last
updated 21 February 2008)
I work as a solo blues
artist (with or without my backing band, THE RED HOUSE BLUES
BAND), playing fiery, guitar-led blues. Find out more

SkyHunter
I'm vocalist, lead guitarist and songwriter in this
exciting "classic rock" band. Find out more
on this site or

SkyHunter website.
Songwriting
I'm fairly new to the art of songwriting - I started in
2006. However, I've been quite prolific since then. You can
find samples of some of my songs here.
Creativity
My background in both the performing arts
and in business means I'm singularly well-equipped to
provide business people with an approach to creativity that
is unique, powerful and fun! Find out more here.

I provide tuition in guitar, vocal technique
and performance. More here...
