The Choice of Kings have been a long time a comin’. All have been wending their way through musical lives, other bands,
solo projects, day jobs and extra-curricular activities for days, weeks, months and years.
Martins own journey started long ago and has travelled many a mile but found itself parked for a while
in Bath at which point a little time was spent kicking back and writing and recording. Early in 2008
he finished recording the album “Into the Abyss”, with the help of Shorn Rah and other notables,which would become the bands initial vehicle. During
the recording he was introduced to Sam and Andy D who played drums and keys on the album. And then back
to the day job. In stepped Bruce (the 6th Choice – sextessential?) who helped with the ads and web stuff.
Eventually the viral network reached Andy P.
Martin and Andy P started to rehearse with a view to an acoustic set to be used to entice band members.
It wasn’t needed. Ben reached out through the web and with keys and drums required Andy D and Sam jumped aboard.
Rehearsing commenced in March and went well from the off. Most of the “Abyss” tracks were played with a
couple of new tracks and the odd cover. New tunes are now emerging from the rehearsals and the first gig
awaits. The excitement mounts ….
