Mark Glentworth Composer/Performer BLUES FOR GILBERT...."I wrote a Piece They All want to Play" At the age of 16 Mark was the youngest percussion student ever to attend the Royal Northern College of music. His first published percussion composition “Blues For Gilbert” has gone on to become the most studied recorded and performed tuned percussion piece of all time. He is widely known for his 30 plus years collaboration with the British playwright/actor Steven Berkoff. At the start of 2010 Mark’s life took on a dramatic change, resulting in him withdrawing from the world for Seven and a Half Years. From this experience he has created a unique New Musical “7 1/2 Years” which received best musical runner-up at this year‘s Edinburgh festival and gained a four star review, and rave reviews for members of the public.
