Renowned MR BIG frontman ERIC MARTIN embarks on a solo acoustic tour of Europe during March. This includes just two UK dates, one of which is in Auntie Annies in Belfast on Sunday 3rd March.
Eric very graciously agreed to answer a few questions for Rock Radio NI by e-mail. Trying to cover such a wide ranging career in a few questions was quite difficult but Eric has taken the time to give us some great responses covering everything from Mr Big to other future projects, and talking about "supergroups", his meeting with Bon Scott and his “band that got away” amongst other things . He even found time to tell a joke.

NI Rocks Recommends SHAKRA – “POWERPLAY”
This was an album I was really looking forward to hearing and the anticipation has been well rewarded. I’ve been a big fan of Swiss rockers Shakra for a few years and I have to admit I was a bit concerned when original singer Mark Fox left after the 2009 album “Everest”. But replacement John Prakesh has now delivered two absolutely fantastic albums and in my very humble opinion Shakra are simply getting better and better!!
NI Rocks Recommends – Rage of Angels : “Dreamworld”

As I read on I realised there were a few names I recognised and lots of reasons to check out the album!
