Throughout his career Martin Hall has played remarkably few concerts – recent live performances include shows at The Białystok Opera House in Poland and at a London concert with Othon and Marc Almond. A fair amount of Hall’s records has been made available in countries such as Germany, Holland, France, England, Italy and the United States.
