Autorenporträt
Martyn Bradley was born in Yateley in October 1949. Educated initially at Cray Valley and Dartford Technical schools, he trained as a teacher at Bishop Otter College Chichester where he qualified in 1971. He worked in education until 2002 when he took a sideways move into computer technology, which saw him working both in the UK and the Far East until he retired in 2010. Martyn is best known as a musician, having become one of the finest English concertina players in the country with umpteen album credits over the years. He has a daughter, Abi, and lives with his wife Helen in a beautiful village close to the sea in West Sussex. Martyn also spends much time in South Africa.
