'I had a great experience playing with the band before Fodens and it is the band I have always wanted to return to. Joining up with Dr. Nicholas Childs, the Dyke and my old pal, John Doyle, was simply irresistible'

Martin commented, "I had a great experience playing with the band before Fodens and it is the band I have always wanted to return to. Joining up with Dr. Nicholas Childs, the Dyke and my old pal, John Doyle, was simply irresistible."
