ects. Alec Robinson (vocals/keyboard) and Jon Wright (vocal/bass) came into the band but unfortunately, Alec's work commitments meant he was unable to continue. A replacement was found in the guise of Peter Wolfe. Gary and Sandy had worked with Pete in Just Blues.

Charles Rickards (vocals/bass) was drafted into The Martells during 2010 when Jon Wright's family commitments became too much. Charles then took over the main vocal duty when Peter Wolfe left earlier this year bringing The Martells back to a 3 piece once again, continuing to go from strength to strength.

It is April 2013 and The Martells find themselves in that predicament of finding new members. Enter stage right Ivan Fegen and Tony Shillingford. Ivan has joined as Lead Singer/ Guitarist. Previously he was with The Roulettes, Voodoo Child and The Jaywalkers. He has an excellent voice and some great guitar skills. Tony recently was with Time Out, an excellent rock band. His sound is awesome and helps drive the band along. Charles has decided to pursue other interests and we wish him the best of luck and hope he does well.

August 2015 and the band is proving to be as popular as ever, but unfortunately Tony has to leavethe band due to family and work commitments. Our new bass player is Bob Stiff. He has previously played with Dreamthief and A saucerful of Floyd to name but a few. He is an excellent musician and will be a great asset to the band. We wish Tony all the best for the future.

November 2017 and more changes are happening. Bob Stiff has moved onto other things. We wish him well in whatever he does. His replacement is our old friend and ex-Martell, Tony Shillingford. We are looking forward to working with him again.
