	Musicians - Martin Carr

Born on 29 November, 1968, in Thurso, Scotland but raised in Wallasey on the Wirral, Martin Carr was the chief song writer and lead guitarist with the British band The Boo Radleys. An ex-pupil of St.Mary's College, Wallasey Village. Played an early gig with The Boo Radleys at The Grand nightclub in New Brighton.

Since the break up of the band, Carr has launched a solo career, taking the name Brave Captain from a song by US rock band fIREHOSE. His solo work has largely been more electronic-based than his previous work, and mainly features himself on lead vocals, whereas in The Boo Radleys he rarely sang, despite writing the lyrics. He is known for his varied taste in music, including loves of jazz and hip-hop, and an interest in electronic experimentation, ensuring that the Boo Radleys soon moved past their shoegazing roots. He has also been outspoken politically, criticising the family of Leah Betts for what he sees as an ill-considered argument.
