Martin had played with a few Liverpool bands, including China Crisis in the mid 80's before he joined Black and they had success with Wonderful Life, Sweetest Smile and a couple of albums in the late 80's. He played guitar, bass, flute and saxophones. He left Liverpool to set up in London as a session player in the early 90's, but I haven't seen him since then. He's played saxophone on Patricia Kaas albums as well.
