The Life Story of Darcy Martin

Darcy James Martin. He is a man much known for his endless discussions, filled to the brim with stories of his life and all the amazing feats within it. You can never be certain if those stories are all true, but after being told with such vigour and love, you would be hard pressed to find someone who would put up a fight. Darcy is always at the centre of attention, either he’s singing or simply calling out to talk to people. Darcy is a prime example of why its important to always put yourself forward and to just try. He has attempted and succeeded in so many fields throughout his life that it is nothing but extraordinary. Born on the 13 th of September 1936 in casino, New South wales. Darcy was brought up to live an eventful life. With 4 brothers and 1 sister, Darcy was never left alone. His father was said to be an amazing horseman and had taught Darcy to ride from a young age. Being an active child, he would play a variety of sports. Between cricket, rugby and tennis, Darcy played it all, and he played to win. This early spout of competitiveness would lead on to him continuing his active and sporting lifestyle for years to come. On top of teaching Darcy horse riding, his father also ensured that all his sons were proficient in boxing. And would coach not only them, but other boys from the neighbourhood as well, leading to many unofficial boxing matches throughout his childhood. Darcy’s passions continued to grow as he aged. He started singing in school choirs as a male soprano, which eventually led to him becoming a tenor after the inevitable voice crack. Eventually, his singing advanced and he would travel with the school choir to represent their collage.
