Vernon Kay welcomes actor Martin Compston, to guide us along his 10-song musical journey in this week鈥檚 compilation edition of Tracks of My Years. We鈥檒l hear how Martin began life as a promising footballer - a Youth Player for Aberdeen before signing for his local professional club Greenock Morton.

However, in 2002, he decided upon a complete change of direction and, having never acted before, auditioned and successfully secured the lead role in Ken Loach鈥檚 鈥淪weet 16鈥�, which shot him to stardom before landing roles in the films 鈥淭he Damned United鈥�, 鈥淭he Wee Man鈥� and 鈥淢ary Queen of Scots鈥�. But he is perhaps best known for his role as DI Steve Arnott in the 麻豆社鈥檚 smash-hit drama 鈥淟ine of Duty鈥� as well other notable TV roles including 鈥淢onarch of the Glen鈥�, 鈥淭he Nest鈥� 鈥淢ayflies鈥� and 鈥淭he Rig鈥�.

A couple of years ago, Martin and his good friend Phil MacHugh toured his beloved homeland in the series 鈥楳artin Compston鈥檚 Scottish Fling鈥�, and this week Martin returns to our screens with a new six-part series 鈥楳artin Compston鈥檚 Norwegian Fling.鈥�
