Martin Rotsey is an Australian guitarist and a member of the rock band Midnight Oil, which was active from 1977-2002 and resumed performing together in 2017.[1][2]

Career

In 2006, he joined fellow Midnight Oil member Rob Hirst's projects Ghostwriters and The Angry Tradesmen. He is also featured – together with Hirst – on the track "Around the world" from fellow Midnight Oil guitarist Jim Moginie's solo debut album "Alas Folkloric".
