During the past three decades, in addition to fulfilling a busy teaching schedule Martyn has continued to freelance as a player in Brass Bands, Orchestras and Big Bands.

In 1996 he was invited to take up the baton with the newly reformed Ashton-Under-Lyne brass band. This partnership was to prove very successful. He led the band to numerous contest victories including three consecutive National titles of Champion Band of Great Britain in 1997 1998 and 1999.The most recent title made brass band history. Since records began Martyn and the Ashton-Under-Lyne Band are the only conductor and band to have won three consecutive National titles in the Third, Second and First Sections.

Martyn continues to fulfil a busy freelance schedule as a teacher, adjudicator and conductor and is currently enjoying his role as musical director of Middleton Brass Band.
