Any love for Sketch Martin?

[DanielW]

I'm trying to find some info on Peter "Sketch" Martin, the bassist who plays the wonderful riff on 23 Skidoo's "Coup" from 1983. He hasn't even got his own Wikipedia page, and info on the Web seems scarce.

Anyone here who's a fan?

Best of luck to you, but you’re wading in hopelessly obscure waters. There was a handful of groups like that in the early 80’s, part of that Euro post-punk/
dance/funk/industrial/goth gumbo, so many players that just disappeared when their respective bands faded away, all that Factory, Crepuscle, 4AD kind of stuff.

Another fan! According to the Ultimate Linx boxset sleevenotes by Peter Paphides - "Peter 'Sketch' Martin severed his ties with the music industry, moving to Ireland and going on to work in a falcon sanctuary and becoming a shepherd".
