Curveballs 23rd August 2023 (with The Big Boss)

Tonight I chatted to one-man electronica powerhouse Martin Byrne aka The Big Boss. Martin’s musical journey has been a varied and fascinating one, from starting out with his first band in his home city of Auckland, New Zealand, before moving to the UK in the mid-80s and experimenting with various genres. After an extended break from music, Martin returned with the experimental electronic sounds of The Big Boss in the mid-2010s and released his fifth album, Inner Space, earlier this year, with more new material already in the pipeline. Listen back to the full story of Martin’s adventures through music throughout the decades via the link below, and all Big Boss albums are available on vinyl and download at thebigbossuk.com.
