Ohh that smile and voice he still has that twinkle in those gorgeous angel.eyes he is still.the best for me wet wet wet are not the same now not for me marti belongs in wet wet wet I am sure kevin is great as well.but marti is and always will be wet wet wet
It’s a crime that the record industry does not do a lot more to protect the young artists from the pushers. Time & time again we read the horror stories that bands succumb to drugs.
They’re not their keepers. If stars want to do drugs there’s nothing really record producers or agents can do.
I know you will never read this Marti but you are absolute powerhouse a living legend... a Scottish legend... a warrior...
Hard to watch this, too sad that such a lovely guy with an incredible natural talent went through this...so happy he got his life back on track and more importantly is still here telling the story. 💙
Anyone that conquers an addiction of alcohol and drugs is a winner in life. Well done. X
I had the pleasure of meeting Marti Pellow at a charity do a couple on months back, he was surprisingly down to earth and VERY funny!
Why suprisingly....he went through hell, well his own decision,...but he learned the message.
Arrgh !!! LIMMMYYYY!!!!!!
He's woke and seeing the programming it's was a deep ego money orientated matrix not to mention the Christianity movement just before him.....lies and smokescreens it was....but I saw!!!
@@TheRecords101 Aye his voice was authentic not like modern technology making ppl good singers fan they clearly canna sing!!! Ers talent gan aboot s earth but yet Hollywood convinces folk they're brilliant n Gans n spoils it for abidy. Fake n artificial, but still widna Dee athoot ma funcy TV. Nae chucking at oot nae window for telling me lies ......I sook it up n defrag the shite oot n keep the gweed bits.......Hiya my name buttercup daisy fae the enchanted forest. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@Rom-ju5tf Yeh shame that Limmy is rubbish
Still love listening this , listened to this so much av downloaded it, he's such a amazing guy,aw I just wish he was sitting next Tae me ,talkin' about the old days mental when am telling my boys they're like wit 😅 you've done brilliant so what you took drugs nobody says oh think I'll be a addict,it's circumstances it's life,mine was sweet little mystery remember the first time a heard it oh my then saw you on top of the pops,a Wiz like oh there's ma man 😅my pal was like eh a heard it first, he's mine.As luck would have it years later I was actually seeing a guy everybody was like ooh he's like Mari pellow,ano and I wasn't even lookin for that, BTW I actually took my twins to that in the green absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤❤ luv you Marti 💞
I have loved you since the wet wet wet days Marti, all that long hair beautiful smile and voice you gorgeous man. I am so glad you made it back from the dark times in your life. I will always love you as your songs have so many memories attached to them. And I treasure the memories of the concerts I have been to. God bless 🙏🏻xx 😘❤️
Really sad that he didn't get that family or make a movie career. He's doing a tour next year, 2024, doing Wet, Wet, Wet songs again.
“And it nearly killed me.” Having lost my brother to suicide due to a drugaddiction, the tone in which he said this hit me so hard in the feels. I feel like he’s a wonderful kid who got caught up in a horrible ordeal, and I’m just so happy that he lived to tell the tale. I❤️him.
Thank you for sharing your story, it can happen to anyone at anytime of there life and the ppl that say it won't happen to them r telling lies. My sons dad is addicted to heroin has lost his 2 cousins and best friend to street valium he gets clean and goes off the rails, it don't make him a bad dad or a bad person, we are not together now because of his addiction but still good friends. I myself have never suffered any of it but I will always say never say Neva x
It really did nearly kill him , his brother "kojac" also had his issues but wasnt as lucky as marti .
Back in the late 80's and early 90's, Marti was so fucking beautiful! X
I'm 48 this week and have loved Wet Wet Wet since forever...have my own addiction problems but they lift me always xx
Marti looks like Hugh Jackman. Both are hot, hot, hot.
I thought Marti was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen! I loved that long brown curly hair!..wow!
its not a sin to get knocked down, its a sin to stay down,.........
I love wet wet wet and Marti Pellow❤❤❤
Today. August 23, 2019. And I still love Marti Pellow. Amazing, eh?
Today. 17 June 2023 And I still love him too! Greetings from Western Australia
I think he'd play Dracula very well he's already has the dark brooding look thing off to a tea
i could just sit and listen to him talking i luv the accent. your gawjus marti.
Sorted mate,yeah I'd like to see Marti in the next bond movie also .the accent and that smile alone would be brilliant.came out the other end of the drug n drink ,well done .that voice is still amazing☺
Could listen to that accent for ever and a day
I was in love with marti pellow when i was 15. I could nit stop playing the popped in souled out album. And for the next 3 or 4 years i really did love him. .
Me too!
So sorry to hear that Marti Pellow has gone through such a bad time - believe in yourself Marti .❤️
One of my absolute favourite bands of the 80's. They were massive back then and brought back some soul and funk to pop that was missing in the midst of all the synth-heavy stuff being churned out. Topped off by a frontman with a fantastic voice. Fucking hell, that lad could sing!
I loved this docmentary brilliant:) Wet Wet Wet loved the band:)
How gorgeous is Marti and so down to earth!! I can now see why my Mum had a crush on him!! 😍😍😍
The issue of band image can be quite detrimental to a band - even one with legitimate artistry - something the guys from Wet Wet Wet undoubtedly had. I'd first heard of Wet Wet Wet during the summer after 6th grade while visiting my uncle in London - and then two years later, they blew up in India (where I was living at the time) with "Love is all around'. No one cared about their image. Girls and guys and liked them. The music spoke for itself and there was no other marketing done for some of those Asian markets that were largely blind spots for some of the biggest acts in the US and the UK. It's a shame Wet Wet Wet never became a household name in the US (which is where I am now). Sadly, their rise to prominence coincided with America's growing isolation from the broader global pop scene in favor of a more geocentric bias. It is a shame Marti Pellow is no longer part of Wet Wet Wet despite some great songs that they released post their 2007 reunion. The band will never be the same without his voice.
I use to live near Helensburgh and would often see Marti around. He would stop and let me cross the road and give a cheeky wink and smile, many happy memories of local guys that did well....bless.x
rose ipk did you know Joan
My Grandad actually lives in his old house in Helensburgh, it’s a beautiful place to be
You don’t seem to have gorgeous looking male singers anymore like Marti. Such a shame. Women like to fancy stars just as much men do for woman stars.
What an encouraging story. Most of us have our dark shadows that last a short time or not so short time. I'm glad he made it through. I hope he's mended his relationships with the folks in his life that he hurt. But as for Wet Wet Wet, back then I was NOT a pop guy. I was a hardcore soldier, traveling to exotic places (dumps was more like it) outside the US back then and was into rock, metal, and punk. Pop always was the girls genre. That said, he had (still does) an amazing voice and that one song "Love Is All Around" song... Yeah I knocked some boots to that song, there was something about it. It reminded me of music back in Ritchie Valens time. Kind of crazy though, a few school mates form a band and blow the world wide open. I do wonder if there was some resentment because as the documentary said they wanted to be a punk band, but Marti's voice really led them someplace else. Just curious.
Subtitles please, i cant understand a word marti is saying. 🤣
You're brilliant Marti Pellow. You brought me thru a very dark time xxx
We got thru this the gether xx
@@natgodfrey7454 you're right xx
Looooved this band.
So glad I grew up in the 80/90’s.
Side note: He looks like Hugh Jackman in this documentary
loved Marti bless him as a massive fan never knew till later how bad he was now looking back I can see he was high. Hope he's in a better place.... Marti you were supposed to be my husband I spend far to long waiting hahhahaha. love the wets. x
Poor Tommy awwww glad Marti pulled through .looks great shape now
I love Mr. P. Good luck to your upcoming concert. Love love love from philippines. ❤❤❤❤ mwahh
he's a survivor and turned his life around.
a survivor of what exactly? :) his own self indulgence in drink and drugs? not sure I can feel any sympathy for people who have opportunity and everything going great for them in life who go and ruin it for themselves.
I admire his honesty x
zatara wood Can happen to anyone in that scene,drugs can pull people in fast.I knew a medstudent had to go rehab cause of cocaine habit.
The most important thing is, he overcame it.
That’s a shame though that finances had to get in between them…they were young I suppose …Band Members all equally important…he made a mistake he’s admitted it and apologised. Move on 👍😅🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful man.Xxxxxxxxxx
You still have what it takes even after all the ups and downs. You came out of the dark side to be on top again. You with your amazing voice is what made Wet Wet Wet. Never give up your dream.
Well I didn’t like Jarvis Cocky that much he was just envious haha I liked the Clash but nowhere near as much as Wet, Wet, Wet. 🤷♀️👍😅
I understand though but then I would have missed out and so many of us. 😅
God Bless You Marti & Band Mates …sometimes we’re just never satisfied with what we’ve been Blessed with…Marti you are Blessed you all are ❤
Never Ever Forget When U Come From
a very truthful documentary. I went to see Wet wet wet in leeds in 1988. ive also seen marti on the stage at leeds Grand theatre in Jekyl and Hyde and as I write this I can hear his soulful voice drift along the valley from the open air theatre in Scarborough my now hometown. fantastic all round performer, entertainer. I do hope you get to be in films too. one open, honest and very down to earth fella. so glad you managed to kick the habit. fantastic guy, God bless. vicky xxxxx
Why would people struggle with martis smile. Its alright. Its better than having a face like a a wet wet wet weekend. 😆
Little Green Eyed Monster called Envy 👍😅
That smile twinkle in his eyes says it all x
That smile has me on my knees every time he has still got that wee twinkle in his eyes he is still gorgeous looking
Love that he's very honest 💕
Great accents, I'm from Texas,can't hardly understand a fricking word LOL

We never got to see The Wets…but My Husband and I took my Mum and my friend to see Marti Pellow & Chris Difford…a brilliant night aswell. Think that was in the 2000’s but can’t be sure 👍😅 🎉❤
I seen the video of them singing "love is all around" for the 1st time just a few days ago,I never knew who sang it,but I was beyound memorized when I seen him singing with his hair long,I fell in love like RIGHT~NOW!! a 1st for me. Looked him up & found out he got hooked on the DEMON drug,& beat that DEMON!! Now if a man with the kind of money,fame & resources he has can beat the DEMON,I say ANYONE can,it was heart breaking seing his face in other videos & knowing what was behind it,& so very UP LIFTING finding out he beat it!! Those out there wanting to beat that DEMON,know YOU CAN!! KNOW your BETTER then the DEMON!! LOVE life!! Love YOURSELF ...
HUGZ to you all!! & stay safe,were dealing with REAL DEMON of a DEMON & TOGETHER we can BEAT IT!!
Respectfully & with the KINDEST REGARDS from my home to yours...
Stay safe!!
Toby's~Gurl😷
Amen ❤
Life is heartbreaking at times. You make decisions to get you through and come out the other side a much better person! So your able to share your experiences to help others through the same issues.
Look to the creator of life, he is the only one who can fill the void. Best of luck 🙂
Hi sorry for replying I just really liked your message...
@@laurenpayne3039 thank you for your kind comment x
Marti Pellow Is So Down To Earth, And Humble,
Clydebank people will always love you ,you show kids and teens it can be done
I'm 50, just rediscovered Wet Wet Wet.
I didn't know of Marti's struggles.
I have my own addiction problems and now know I was at my worst the same time he was.
We also share the same Birthday.
So happy we've both made it.
Loving his lockdown sessions on FB ❤
Glad he's pulled it around
I didn't know Marty had sutch a difficult time ,I am so sorry that he had to go through that !! I wish him well and GOD bless him ! Greetings from Lillian 🌻🇳🇱

They were well known for All is all around in my country but I just discovered Sweet surrender and this song can't get out of my head. A fan from Colombia South America!
Marti with long hair OMG as gorgeous as Neil oliver
Yep!
I always thought they were cool wasn't aware of inverted snobbery about them. Great songs, great band, great singer
me neither
You can knock um all you want
Excellent live band
Marti was my ex girlfriend mothers pal.........she reckoned he was so busy waving to the girls near her house he ran his car up onto the pavement and hit a pole//////////true or not so funny
Gorgeous 😊
God bless Marti, pulled himself out of that dark place, great person and singer.
15 years ago, but still cute as a button! I'm betting he still is!
Love his smile❤
Really great voice. Well done to him for kicking that drink and drug nonsense.
marti pellow still fit
Marti for the next bond please 😍
But isn`t Marti Scottish ? !!
Yes Please
It was the four guys who started the band and then Graeme Duffin, the guitarist, joined. He was a little bit older than the rest of the guys so it was probably due to image that he has always been known (amongst the fans) as the unofficial fifth member of the band.
Everyone thought Jarvis Cocker was cool at time. Storming stage Michael Jackson, saying I hate wet wet wet. But it just seems petty mean spirited and judgemental. I like some of his songs but Jackson and wet wet wet make brilliant music, he made out that if he was anti something then naturally it was no good.
Jarvis is a fanny m8
I can still listen to WWW over and over... Pulp, not so much :)
Marti !!!!! is a strong man!
My Grandad actually lives in the house where Marti Pellow lived in Helensburgh
Run rig wet wet wet deacon blue many more 🏴🏴🏴
Aye love them aw…especially Runrig…How about Paolo now? 👍😅
Two be Honest dear I've never heard anything about him ? However my alexa is ether going two be busy later on if a like # aye 0 u a Meal ? 👍
Wet wet wet one of the best
So sad story i lovw wet wet wet but thank god he is still a live
Excellent little Documentary …I love that Cheeky Smile …I didn’t know he’d ended up on the Heroin…so he’s done really well then..Bless him Bless All. ❤️
I merried my Husband bcs of Love is All Around well it helped a lot to soften me up 👍😅 …walked up the Aisle with my Grand Papa to Greensleeves & the Wedded & Bonded couple danced back down together to Love is All Around…it was a Magical Moment in Time.
We Met in 1994 the Year this came out was number one for months…and Merried in 1996…still together and happy mostly 👍😅 he took it down himself I believe to give somebody else a chance…think that was Bryan Adams with Everything I Do.
I love Marti Pellow & Paolo Nutini now…wow. Thanks Clydebank and Paisley…my Family is from Dunbartonshire andLoch Lomond…I think Clydebank is across the Water…I know Paisley definitely is 😅… it’s well worth putting up with the Wet, Wet, Wet for the Magic that Creates. 👍😅
💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
Marti, I'm so glad you managed to beat the drugs and drink demons. You're a brave person. Bless you. x
Love it great doc! I love Marti smile.
thanks for this documentary
The smile is sweet as well as got something wicked to it!
Fantastic - I have lived the USA for 46 years and had never heard of Wet Wet Wet and then I saw Evita at Birmingham Hippodrome. From that time on I have been an avid fan of Marti Pellow. I have seen Evita many times but no-one has done a better job of Che than Marti. I watch everything on youtube that has Marti in it!
Dawn Callander very interesting i can understand him when he sings only. I had no idea that scotch accent is that difficult but lovely
Wedad farah It’s a “Scottish” accent Scotch is a drink
@@MsFifi11c Maybe Wedad was drunk with scotch while writing the comment !
@@Nhilzer that’s a possibility I suppose ;-)
What a great guy, he is as ordinary as the rest of us but not really lol, I'm so glad he has turned it around, he deserves it
A true Celtic man
Julho de 2023, assistindo esse documentário. Obrigado por compartilhar a sua vida num momento tão difícil, graças a Deus você superou tudo isso. Parabéns Marti Pellow te amamos muito.
God bless you Marti, keep punching it in the face everyday. You have come a long way and did a fantastic job to come back from such a dark place. But you did that’s the main thing. Your songs are attached to so many memories I have. God bless you xxxx
It’s a shame that wet wet wet broke up and whatever private problems happened to Marti pellow should have stayed out of the tabloids!! But I love the music I always have!!
Me and my mum have a special song we sing, and it’s I get knocked down but I get up again my backs against the wall, I knocked down but I get up again your never gunna see me crawl!! Good luck marti😊🐶
