Martha May & The Mondays is the work of Glasgow-based musician, Martha. Formerly a part of Pretty Preachers Club, Martha went through a very difficult period of her life towards the end of 2022 and had a one-way ticket booked to Shetland where she was planning on moving to work in a café. Two days before she was supposed to be leaving, Martha was eating a burger in popular fast-food chain, Five-Guys, with a close friend who convinced her to stay in Glasgow and start a solo music career. This revelation completely changed the trajectory of her life and helped her out of her slump. The friend, Reno, is now her manager and biggest supporter.
