Martin McAloon

Martin McAloon was the bass player and a founding member of Prefab Sprout.
Martin will be performing a 2-hour show featuring a large selection of Prefab Sprout songs from their 40 years in the music industry, stripped back to the bare necessities, the raw elements of how they were first performed when originally written by his brother Paddy - before the bells, whistles and budget were added.
Expect all the hits; Cars and Girls, When Love Breaks Down & The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and much, much more!
Following a fall during the pandemic that broke one wrist and a car accident that damaged the other arm, Martin used the guitar and the songs as a form of rehabilitation.
Martin has been involved in the music industry since he was a teenager releasing the early Sprout records on his own label Candle Records, he's lectured on music and art at colleges and universities and was instrumental in setting up the UKs leading music development agency, Generator Northeast.
He is also a visual artist who exhibits under the pseudonym Feliks Culpa whose work is in collections worldwide and has exhibited at the Royal Academy and ICA London, Liverpool Museum of Popular Music, and Manchester Contemporary.
“These songs are the DNA that runs through me - the writing is pristine and it's an honour to be able to play them in a live environment once again.” Martin McAloon
