Martin McCarrick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin McCarrick (born on 29 July 1962) is a British cellist and guitarist.
He is probably best known for his membership in the hard rock band Therapy?: he joined them in 1996, having previously supplied guest cello work on their albums Troublegum and Infernal Love. McCarrick left Therapy? in 2004.
He has also recorded or performed with This Mortal Coil, Marc Almond, Siouxsie & the Banshees and Bryan Ferry. Plus, he has become the cellist of choice for British rock bands, appearing on stage with both 3 Colours Red and Rico (to whose Violent Silences album he contributed).
McCarrick's sister, renowned violinist Gini Ball, has been married to Soft Cell instrumentalist David Ball.
He and his wife, Kimberlee, now work together as The McCarricks.
