Sumo Experience is run by Martin Day who runs the parties dressed as a Japanese Gyoji (Sumo referee).

Until 2006, Martin had worked in IT but had also continually worked in areas of entertainment in his spare time. Thirteen years as lead singer/songwriter and front man of rock band Salt Solution gave him his nose for fun, spontaneity and the ability to manage and communicate with an audience. Besides running Sumo Experience he also currently works part time for teaching and coaching charity TLC and also BCC, a local Christan community and helps run their youth club. His inventiveness is not just limited to Sumo, he has also written a series of short stories called 'The Animal Parables' and has other creative stuff on show at his website ShallowDeep.com.

Martin is married to Jill and has two children, Chloe 18 and Sam 15.

For more information about Salt Solution's album "Arctic Frosties" see the Links page on the party site.
