Announcement
The Martyn Bennett Trust is pleased to announce the launch of a new updated version of http://www.martynbennett.com. Our aim is to detail as much of Martyn's many achievements as possible and to keep visitors to his website up to date with forthcoming events.

Martyn Bennett Trust
The Martyn Bennett Trust is a registered charity which was formed in April 2005 by the family and friends of Martyn. Whilst Martyn's music will leave its own inspired legacy, and although the memory of Martyn's performances will happily endure in the memories those who saw him play, here in Scotland and all over the world, Martyn also had a real dedication to encourage young musicians to make the most of their talents through teaching and through sharing his own vision of the possibilities of music. It is this aspect of Martyn's legacy that the MBT seeks to promote, safeguard and continue. To view the MBT members page click here <http://www.martynbennett.com/mbt_members_01.html> .

A day of events in which we celebrate the work of Martyn Bennett.
Martyn Bennett Day aims to explore, celebrate and build upon Martyn’s rich musical legacy. Two concerts have been programmed from his body of work, representing the full spectrum of his talents with new, specially commissioned arrangements of recorded material, along with other pieces which have never previously been performed, all taking place in a spirit of boundary-busting collaboration which was very much Martyn’s own. Visit the Celtic Connections <http://www.celticconnections.com/> Website.

We are also pleased to announce the Martyn Bennett Tunebook, a collection of tunes written by Martyn in traditional forms, some featured on his albums, some as yet unperformed. Details of its release to follow...
