Martyn Bennett recorded this ground-breaking CD in 1997. A totally amazing fusion of classical styles with contemporary rhythms and technologies yet true to his Celtic roots . All of the music was composed, performed , recorded and mixed at home by Martyn. After going out of print, Bothy Culture was re-issued by Rykodisc in September 2005 due to popular demand.
Martyn Bennett died in January 2005 after a long battle with cancer at the age of 34.
