Today's guest is: Martin Fitzgibbon
Musician, songwriter, singer and author Martin Fitzgibbon was introduced to the art of drumming aged 8. By the age of 16, he had ventured into the uncertain, exciting and precarious world of the professional musician, playing in every kind of venue including a few he was reluctant to admit to his Catholic mother. Fitzgibbon explains, “You did what you had to do just to get by. I played in Soho nightclubs for a while and there were some pretty unsavoury characters you had to deal with, but as a kid it was a great education in many different ways”
Money has never been a real motivation either. He says “Sure you need and deserve to get paid for what you do, but I enjoy musical variety and if I liked the sound of a proposition, I said yes first and then found out what numeration was going to be later” As a result he has no regrets and has worked in almost every musical genre, in many parts of the world, whilst pursuing his craft.
The drummer in the original production of The Rocky Horror Show, which
premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London alongside Tim Curry and Richard O’Brien, among others, Fitzgibbon continues to perform and is currently preparing to record a solo album due for release in early 2025
