Martin Worthy

A singer/songwriter, Martin has played drums for over 30 years. In the late 70’s he began working with Paul Quarrington. Martin and Paul’s music provides a rare combination of animation and subtlety, humour and insight. They also recorded their own album that contained a 1980 number one single – “Baby and the Blues”.

In the 1980’s Martin worked as the drummer for the celebrated group Joe Hall and the Continental Drift. In recent years Martin has worked as a piano technician, a radio producer (The Dini Petty Radio Show) and a composer for small film and video productions. In 1993 he was awarded an Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council Grant to compose a series of songs inspired by Canadian novels.
