HEART DON'T BREAK: A song that was written for Roy Orbison.
During the late half of 1988 Andy wrote a song with Roy Orbison in mind. The mp3 of the actual recording by New Zealand artist Tania Cassidy is featured here, a production by one of Australia's 'A-list' producers - Garth Porter.
The track was released on the FESTIVAL records label, a division of Mushroom Records/Australia. The album (TC CASSIDY/Festival 31148) charted at 21 in November of 1994. Source: Capital News Top 30/BAL Marketing/Countdown/AUSTRALIA.
Biography:
Anglo/Australian Andy Martin resides in Germany but his music lives an international life of its own. His success has come with ROCKIN' ON THE AIRWAVES through the London internet station www.AiiRadio.net where the track was twice listener voted number one in late 2004. A sound-clip is permanently on AiiR's website & the song is in the station's Hall Of Fame. This track is from his Number 1 CD album & a second track, WATERFRONT STREET also hit number number one for him at AiiRadio.
On February 10th 2005, the day before the CD's official launch, a 3rd single from the CD (STAY - a duet featuring Hollie Bourne) also went to number one, virtually guaranteeing that this album has made some form of musical history in the "independently released" retail sector.
A hot CD review by Peter Sarstedt (writer of WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY) was followed by radio playlisting on many FM stations in the Netherlands & ROCKIN' ON THE AIRWAVES being featured on Olon Mega Top 50, a radio promotional compilation. The rock classic power ballad CAN'T LOVE NO MORE is off the INTERVALS CD & is available through the Cdbaby catalogue. Registered with Soundscan, INTERVALS is Andy's latest CD & complete with UPC barcode, is a ready & definite winner to hit the shop shelves.
Andy was represented at MIDEM 2005 by Australian Music Marketing Abroad & was featured in the center of the A&R magazine plus 2 tracks on the MIDEM compilation disc: Print run 8,000 units available to Midem attendees & industry-only mailouts. Promotional activities for the CD are currently underway in Germany & the Netherlands. CD release date: February 11th 2005. 2 further tracks (MIDNIGHT BLUE & STAY) from the CD were also featured at POPKOMM BERLIN 2005 in the A&R magazine & sampler. www.andymartinsongs.com

Cars, Ebay, guitars (!), travel, the welfare of animals in their ever shrinking environment, the sea & everything that lives in it, space travel (did men really land on the moon? or was it the grand hoax?)...
My favourite movies are Bitter Moon, starring Hugh Grant & Peter Coyote, Betty Blue, starring Beatrice Dalle, Alien (loved all of those!), Any Which Way You Can/Any Which Way But Loose, starring Clint Eastwood & "Clyde" the Orangutan, Mad Max 2, starring Mel Gibson, The Odd Couple, starring Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau, Rob Roy, starring Liam Neeson, As Good As It Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Mr. Reliable, starring Colin Friels & The Blues Brothers (of course!) If I could only own one movie, it would be Bitter Moon. See it for yourself & you'll understand why! If anyone deserved to recieve Oscars for a performance, they should have been given to Hugh Grant, Peter Coyote & Emmanuelle Seigner! But its not a fair world....! And as for Beatrice Dalle in Betty Blue - well, what can anyone say about Beatrice except "yes please"! If I had to be a castaway on a desert island with just once companion & I could choose who - it would be Beatrice Dalle! If I could only choose one piece of music, it would be The Blue Danube
TV:
Wildlife & geographical documentaries, travel, history, cars! The Rockford Files - James Garner was great in that series.
