This is 'authorized' fan site for the bassist, Linley Marthe.
I had a chance to touch his great music and personality. I was so impressed.
I decided to set up this site to spread out information about Linley, so that
people may get to know him better.
The information and content is not enough yet. I would like to add them
gradually.
For any comments or questions, kindly send them to the following e-mail:
