MARTYN BENNETT: SCOTTISH FOLK

Mon choix Videopick: Un retour sur la carrière du regretté prince de la musique celtique moderne Martyn Bennett. Ce musicien et producteur Écossais d’origine Canadienne a donné tout un coup de barre au genre. Ce documentaire de la BBC nous le présente mieux que jamais. Peter Gabriel en parle encore…

 My VideoPick:  This is a wonderful docu presentation by the BBC of Scottish, Canadian born,  Martyn Bennett.  “…The story of Martyn’s life as a prodigious young musician and radical saviour of Scottish contemporary folk, as well as his struggle with cancer and the extraordinary story behind ‘GRIT’, his album on Real World Records, is told against the back drop of the beautiful Isle of Mull where Martyn lived and worked at the time. ‘GRIT’ was to be Martyn’s final project before cancer robbed him of his short life at the age of just 33.”
