 Christmas message from Marti to all of his fans!

I just wanted to thank you all for giving me such huge support throughout the year, from Witches of Eastwick to the Hyde Park Benny and Bjorn concert, to the Concert Hall in Dublin, the release of the Chess in Concert dvd and all the other concerts and events I've done this year, having your support is always so important and has always touched me. We have an exciting year ahead which will start off with the imminent launch of my new website and the tour of Chicago.... after that - you'll always be the first to know...

                     wishing you a safe, peaceful and joyous Christmas - love 2 love Marti

 

Sacred Flame and official website update!

Many of you will have received "event reminders" from Ticketmaster regarding Sacred Flame on 28th December. The show HAS been postponed until sometime next year. These reminders were set up automatically when tickets were purchased and they should be ignored. The show's producer is working hard to arrange a date that is suitable for everyone involved, that can be accommodated at the O2. I know that everyone is waiting for the new date and I'm sure that we will be told as soon as it has been settled.

Marti's official website should be launched soon! I have been told that it is looking great and I'm sure that it will be worth the wait!

 

"Winter Across Her Brow" - the beautiful new song on Marti Pellow Official  is taken from the acoustic album "King Of Yesterday". Release details are as yet unknown.

 Sacred Flame postponed until later in 2010.

People that already have tickets should contact the O2 directly or Ticketmaster. Tickets can be carried forward to the rescheduled date or refunds will be given.
