The tongue in cheek atmosphere is reinforced with some spoken "local" french accent by the song’s lyricist Ian Retson.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TrnEFlmiN6Y" width=100% title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">The Bank Street Martyrs are a threesome, one vocalist (Joseph Montenegro Watema), one musician (Andrew Marsland) and one poet (Ian Morris Retson).  </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">"I Love You Molly Mandy" is out now on all streaming platforms.</span></span></p><BR><BR><hr><center><div class="AdSpeedVisibleAd" asreq="https://g.adspeed.net/ad.php?do=js&zid=74738&oid=16882&wd=-1&ht=-1"></div></center><center><h4><b><i><a href='https://www.newjerseystage.com/advertise'>Advertise with NJ Stage for $50-$100 per month, <u>click here for info</a></u></i></h4></b></div></center><div class="mainarticle"><hr><BR>
