MarthaGunn are a band named after the Brighton folk heroine known as the ‘priestess of the bath’. It features frontwoman Abi Woodman and her close friends Max, Humphrey, Ally and Frankie. They take inspiration from bands ranging from Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles to Mystery Jets and Haim.

Their debut single Heaven has grown into a live favourite since its release in 2016. The band just released a re-recorded version of it, which sounds fresh all over. When sharing the track to the band’s social media, Woodman explained: “When I wrote Heaven, I was playing out a fantasy in my head and exploring a path I could only dream of taking. A few years on and I have stopped living in fantasies. I go after everything my soul desires. Heaven is a song for anyone dreaming of something more.”
