If the name Martin Vengadesan sounds familiar to Star2 readers, that’s because he once wrote a column called Music Myths And Legends that ran for 10 years from 2002 to 2012, in which he combined his passion for music and history.

He has now created his own music history with The Queen’s Gambit, a debut recording by his band, Martin Vengadesan And The Stalemate Factor. The album is a personal project he started in 2010, but only managed to complete in 2017.
