I didnt actually notice that. I read up on his wiki & it doesnt say where his parents were from though.

"Martyn was born in New Malden, Surrey, England.[2] Martyn's parents, both opera singers, divorced when he was five and he spent his childhood alternating between England and Scotland. Much of this was spent in the care of his grandmother. His strongest ties were in Glasgow, and he attended Shawlands Academy there."

Making them my main summer listening this year

By far not the best but I've been listening to Frightened Rabbit a lot lately.

There's no other option.

Frightened Rabbit are my favourite.
