PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Martyn Ware was born in 1956 and raised in Sheffield. After leaving school, he worked in computers for three years before forming The Human League in 1978. He started the production company and label, British Electric Foundation, in 1980 and founded Heaven 17 that same year. Ware has written, performed and produced two Human League, two BEF and nine Heaven 17 albums. As a record producer and artist, he has featured on recordings totalling over fifty million sales worldwide, producing, amongst others, Tina Turner, Terence Trent D'Arby, Chaka Khan, Erasure, Marc Almond and Mavis Staples. Electronically Yours is his first book.
Martyn's memoir is at times hilarious, insightful, and bittersweet. He's a man who is owed much more credit for his contribution to the British electronic music legacy. -- Tom Robertson Wonderful, down to earth . . . a great story.
