Happy 15th Birthday to The Fury And The Fire album
Today marks the 15th birthday of Andrew’s album The Fury And The Fire – his fourth album, and first under his own name.
The album contains the singles While You Were Sleeping and Amnesty/Wreckage.
The album finally arrived in digital stores and streaming platforms in 2009.
You can give it a birthday listen on Apple Music, Spotify and other digital services.
Back to the studio
It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
I’ve been busy decorating my house, enjoying a break, buying loads of amazing 80s vinyl, and sporadically feeling inspired to write some new tracks on and off over the summer. It’s never good to force these things, but I hope to be able to bring some of these to you soon.
I hope to have I Don’t Need A Lover and These Days finished for you real soon, as I would personally like to get those out into the wild, as they mean more to me than ever now, and it would feel good to be able to move on from them.
Other tracks I’ve been writing/working up, include (current) titles of On & On, If I Had Your Number, Staring At The Sun, and The Lights Are Going Out.
Father Christmas Is On His Way hits stores and streams
Andrew Martin has released his new Christmas song ‘Father Christmas Is On His Way‘ today, with the track hitting digital stores and streams worldwide, and even a very limited 7″ single-sided picture disc.
The song captures the Christmas spirit of his childhood, of listening out for the sound of reindeer and Father Christmas himself – even ending with a gasping surprise at the end.
Stream or download the track
The track can be streamed now from the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and more, and can be bought from iTunes, Amazon and all the usual stores worldwide.
Have a lovely Christmas x
New single ‘Father Christmas Is On His Way’ to get release on 7th December
Andrew releases the single ‘Father Christmas Is On His Way’ to all major stores and streaming services on 7th December 2018, and a strictly limited edition 7″ picture disc.
The track was recorded for last Christmas but streamed only to a small audience, and without download. This year, the track has been released across all worldwide streaming and download stores for you to add a little bit of magic to your Christmas.
The song recaptures the childhood magic of Christmas Eve, and listening out for Father Christmas to arrive with presents.
This is the first time that Andrew has appeared on vinyl.

Andrew covers A Winter’s Tale by David Essex
Andrew has recorded a version of the David Essex hit, A Winter’s Tale, giving the track a much darker tone to it’s somewhat sinister original lyrics that David had cheerfully recorded in 1983.
