Martha Allen-Smith

Leamington-bred and a regular visitor to Presto in bygone years, Martha is a classically trained violinist and singer, and has been pootling about on guitars and folk instruments since her teenage years. She escaped to the concrete jungle of Birmingham to study drama in 2017, where she most recently found herself working for Hobgoblin Music - a plus for the folk side of her training!

Returning to her hometown and classical roots, Martha can now generally be found seeking out musical theatre societies, writing fantasy novels and creating history podcasts, outside her musical pursuits.
