Just the fact you wrote ‘Olympian’ puts you up there fella. You made it much further than a lot of us. Eulogy is for the dead. Keep putting your songs out there.. Talent doesn’t always tender fame.
Mr Rossiter! I have not been in your orbit since brushing up beside you, back-stage, at some mid-level, midlands venue in the mid 1990's, when my criminally underrated outfit, Elcka, supported your less-criminally underrated outfit, Gene! It a delight to see you still creating beautiful music - I especially enjoyed 'I Can't Help Myself'.... It's also something of a delight to see you have waaaay more grey hairs than I!!! Big Love to you, to us - the uncompromising - Harry Harrold x
Your music has been a constant in my life since I first heard the Olympian album. With Glastonbury 95, Manchester Uni 98, and Clwb Ifor Bach for the solo tour, you’ve provided me with three of my all-time favourite live music experiences. Music is life. Diolch Martin x
Mr R.. If you ever read this you might find this amusing... In the mid nineties I was on a 'American exchange' that ended in a drive across the US. I forced everyone to listen to Olympian on repeat over all those highways in summer heat. So long ago. Pop fame is all about chance. You had the talent, chance didn't accompany you long enough....
Brilliant little gig. Loved Gene, but Martin's solo LP is superb. If you're watching this, then you've probably heard it, but if you haven't, you're missing out.
I saw you live in Japan a few times back in the late 1990s. I remember thinking your singing voice sounds a bit creamier than on earlier Gene records at that time. Your voice have got creamier now, sounds gorgeous on songs like the second and third song. Also happy to hear you sing Olympian.
Martin sendo Martin.....uma terapia para a alma....... simplesmente isso.... frustrante não tê-lo visto ao vivo.....ainda imagino um dueto Martin e Morrissey......
Grande Martin, mi spiace tu abbia litigato con gli altri membri della band, ti ho visto tutte e 2 le volte che sei venuto a suonare a Milano, ottimi concerti e suono fantastico. Ti auguro il meglio per te ed i tuoi cari. Un abbraccio Roberto!!
He kind of lost it with the last song. It is sad about his father, but that last song hurt to watch. Cringe. Anyone could have written it. He is too brilliant for that.
I’m so happy to have found this, if late.❤ I’ve been a fan for a long time.

Most beautiful voice in Britpop scene. Cheers from Jakarta.
Thanks to this man’s tutoring I earn a living making music
Well that was fantastic and I hope to see more of Martin.
Martin, You are my hero since 20th Mar 1995 (Is also my birthday)

I love this little gig by dear auld Martin and the new tune is rather good♥️🌈🙏

This is brilliant - loved Gene back in the 90s and am glad to see you are still rocking Fred Perry polo shirts, Martin!
Thanks Martin...from Thailand

Thank you Martin, very moving. You’re sounding great! Legend

The solo album is great, but so very sad.
What a wonderful idea, and what lovely songs Martin. You were and remain fantastic.
Three Points may be your best song--glad you included it.
Thank you
Legend.
Yep. Totally amazing musician.!
Nice to see you are well and still enjoying singing. More songs need your voice.
The best Rossiter! I saw you at canes in San Diego, and in LA.

Having just seen Martin in London at the O2, I felt this deserved another listen!!

Brilliant and beautiful 👍
still the man. lovely.

that first song is totally brilliant , i love thay song
Olympian stands the test of time & still sounds beautiful. Three Points heartbreaking, but relatable to some of us.
So beautiful.
Just in awe of this guy x
I've only recently bought the gene albums brilliant
Thanks for this! I saw you at the Troubadour in LA in 2000.
Love Gene ❤️
great voice
Sempre gostei de você ainda da época do Gene.
Muito bom Martin sua voz é linda.
(Im from Brasil)
Thank you so much, Mr. Rossiter

Canta demais, essa lindeza! We love you, Martin #brazil
Martin I love you still

Quanto è invecchiata bene Olympian... ❤️
Great music, tattoos/
I am your real fan
to the point, i'm old, the Olympians song made me cry. there it is. Well done you. re the old, blue polo on blue background was that a wise choice?
Didnt know you could play piano as well as sing Martin..nice one, your a diamond!
Not just play it. I think he actually taught it (maybe still does ?) if memory serves correctly ? 🙂
@JezC Yes your right Jez..he does teach it,he works for British And Modern Music Institute!
Kepp up the one vax man left in the fridge! The song about roses: indeed it is! isnit? is it?
how did i miss this!?!?
I would be interested if these songs were written on the piano or as a band. ?
why are then songs not on spotify ? you have to make then o nn there , they were my life
They are but not listed in the index as Gene. You need to search on song title
How can this have so few views :(
I think they just stuck their roots and did not sell out. That is how everything they produced was just pure quality. Just my opinion though.
So what is the truth betwixt he and his ex-wife?
I notice all my favorite Britpop bands have been touring the last few years but no Gene.
I find I Must Be Jesus both funny and poignant like yer blues by the Beatles I’m not sure if that’s the intention though
He kind of lost it with the last song. It is sad about his father, but that last song hurt to watch. Cringe. Anyone could have written it. He is too brilliant for that.
You should have your own tv show your judgements are so valuable
It’s difficult to write a song about a man as great as Leonard Rossiter and really do him justice.
Never spoke out against this hoax. Sad.
