About this show

Martyn Bennett was an artist ahead of his time. Piper, violinist, composer, producer, DJ – his radical blend of tradition and technology created an audacious new sound that was uniquely his own. Gary West, Bennett's biographer and author of Brave New Music, and BJ Stewart, the musician’s official photographer and close friend, uncover his enduring legacy, the intersection of folk, classical and electronic music, place and nature as musical inspiration: from mountains and mosh pits.
