Martin Treacher - Pianist, Singer and Bagpiper

Say it with a song

Martin specialises in writing humorous topical songs, suitable for TV and radio current affairs and magazine programmes.

He also offers humorous tailor-made songs for private clients, a unique present for an anniversary, birthday or special event.

Martin will liaise with you to get details of the person who is to feature in the song and then send your original song on a CD in the post and/or directly to you by email as an mp3 file.

For corporate clients, Martin can perform a memorable song featuring a company’s significant achievements and perhaps include some amusing incidents featuring particular employees.

Martin’s songs have recently featured on STV’s Politics Now programme, including one about Holyrood-Westminster tensions, while BBC Radio Scotland’s Fred MacAulay Show featured Martin’s song about the controversial Holyrood parliament building.

Among his original songs are those for Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade; Sheraton Hotels long service awards; a British Aerospace presentation at SECC, Glasgow; and as a wedding anthem for a pop music executive.
