Martin Noble (stage name Noble) is the lead guitarist with UK indie rock band British Sea Power.

Born and raised in Bury, Greater Manchester, his first musical experience was as keyboard player in Blind, a band he formed with school friends.

He joined British Sea Power after meeting Yan, the band's lead vocalist, whilst studying at Reading University.

As well as guitar he also plays piano and keyboards on many British Sea Power recordings.

Noble can often be seen riding the backs of his fellow band members and any nearby security guards, scaling lighting rigs, physically abusing fans and performing potentially dangerous spiral jumps into the crowd during the band's live end-of-set semi-improvised mash-up "Rock in A".
