Martin Stephenson's reputation has been bolstered by virtue of countless searing live performances throughout the UK.

His early love of literature and music led to the formation of the first Daintees line-up in his early teens. The band nevertheless became something of a busking sensation, on the evidence of which Newcastle record label Kitchenware sent them into the studio.

This release captures the candidness and honesty of Stephenson's songs. Which have been already enhanced an already impressive reputation for hearty live shows.

Martin Stephenson and The Incredible Shrinking Band, is live album recorded just with Martin solo (now that is incredibly shrinking by anyone's standards!!) Or as Martin puts it '...once I had a bass player, now I am reverbless...'

A moment in history and a little peak through the keyhole into the musical world of one of one of England's finest singer songwriters.
