Martin Ledner
'Live Review' from Songdog Diary

October 2009
Martin Ledner’s a guy I came across a few weeks ago at the Betsey Trotwood and that you should check out--- he sang a setful of tunes I took to be folk-standards but that he’d actually written himself, and all good (especially “Lament of a Dorset Shepherd” also called 'I Once had a Wife'). Dylan would definitely like his stuff, and so do I (and only exceptional songwriters can do it for me anymore).

“ Ledner’s voice is ‘passionately world-weary.. but is unbowed and all the stronger for it – the ideal voice….”
Maverick magazine
“My Mistress’s Songbook’ ***
“Folk-rock with a nice modern twist from a mainstay of the London folk Scene......a very accomplished solo album..”
