I had great fun recording the latest podcast episode of “Going Down The Rabbit Hole”. Put on your muddy boots and join me for Episode 7.

It’s been a great thrill to reconnect with Bernie Taupin again and to write a brand new song together after all these years. Bernie sent me a stunning new lyric called “Fire from Dragons”, and I’d like to share with you the finished home demo of the song I’ve just recorded. Bernie mentioned to me that this was an especially important lyric to him. I feel it’s an extremely relevant lyric for the ti...

Going Down The Rabbit Hole With Martin Page. One. by Martin Page

Well, I never did truly think “I’d ever get my feet this far”! We have arrived at the final 50th episode of my Radio Owlsnest songwriter podcasts. It’s been a fantastic and lovely journey for me, playing my rare demos from my archives and sharing the stories behind the songs. I labeled you listeners as “OwlHeads” quite early on in the proceedings, and that label has stuck over the ensuing years …...

“The Wreckless Eric 1980 Sessions” - A Radio Owlsnest Special. I’ve been wanting to record this show for a very long time, and after re-mastering some precious vintage cassette demos, I feel the time is right to tell the story of working with iconic punk legend “Wreckless Eric” in 1980. Along with my songwriting partner of that period, Brian Fairweather, the three of us wrote and demoed 6 brand ne...

Greetings oh feathered beauties! I am back with more hidden bounty from my ancient song archives. More rare demos, sonic experiments and even a brand new track will hopefully charm your “OwlHead” ears. It was wonderful to work back in the day with the fine singer/songwriter/guitarist Hamish Stuart of the iconic band, “The Average White Band”. I’ll start off the show by playing you a track we wrote...

A Radio Owlsnest Halloween Special - The Making Of “Ghostbusters” With Martin Page and Brian Fairweather. I had only been in LA for two weeks with my “Q.Feel” songwriting partner, Brian Fairweather, when we unexpectedly found ourselves in a valley studio with Ray Parker, Jr., recording the iconic smash, “Ghostbusters”! We’d gone to Ray’s studio to say hello and present ourselves as songwriters whe...

Hello my lovely “Fowlheads” - I mean “OwlHeads” (I didn’t mean to offend you). We’re back for another journey into my deep song archives. I’m quite amazed how many rarities are still to be found in the dusty vaults ... and I start the show by playing a movie song I wrote way back in the day, which for the life of me, I can’t recall what bloody blockbuster I wrote it for! I just know it was for a J...

Welcome to the feathered brotherhood who join me today for Episode 47 of the Radio Owlsnest syndicated blockbuster world dominating songwriter podcast series … Ahhh - not really. In truth, it’s remained an intimate, small, close knit village concern which has been lovely for me to host over the last few years. So thank you to you “OwlHeads” who have given me your ears so consistently and graciousl...
