Marty Wilde interviewed as he receives the MBE from the Queen on May 5, 2017. Kim and Joyce also speaking. Also includes old footage from a young Marty and Joyce.
Marty is one of our greatest rock n rollers watched him when I was a kid when my sisters used to jive in the front room. Him and Billy Fury were the best. He really deserves his award. He his a gent. Wish I could see him live. (Pete Merico singer) keep on singing Marty.😆😆Pete and My Big Sister Ann xxxxx🎸🎸🎸🎸💃🌭🐻💖🌹👍👍👍👍🌷😎
I got drunk with this guy and his band one night in the 70's . At the time although a contemporary of his I was a beginner so have only been playing guitar 55 years. They gave me some useful tips. One was from the guitarist, he said '' if you can play a riff correctly 9 times out of 10. You've got it off. '' Marty Wild was very pleased that I remembered certain things he had done musically that some people were not aware of.
What an absolute icon of pop and rock. Marty Wilde wrote and released some highly contemporary late 60s popsike with his 1969 album Diversions. Very few people paid attention, though and Marty was more or less an Oldies act after that. Not saying that's a bad thing. His song catalogue I extensive and vast, just speculating on how Marty could have progressed musically if the record buying public were paying attention to his newer songs.
A great honour indeed.Marty was up there in the beginning..like Billy Fury ..Cliff and Tommy Steele to name a few.They paved the way.
Thanks for posting! What a truly lovely family :)
Not only a great but also down to earth where success has not gone to his head, a truly great man.
Best era ever, late 50's and 60's.

A lovely man. My first celebrity love. Met him once at the stage door 60yrs ago and he was absolutely gracious.
It should have been a Knighthood, Thanks for everything Marty
