Martin Quittenton is a British guitarist and composer.[1][2] He played in the blues rock band Steamhammer, formed in 1968. Their debut album Steamhammer was released in 1969 with keyboardist Pete Sears as a special guest.

Quittenton also worked with Rod Stewart, along with Pete Sears, Micky Waller, and fellow Steamhammer guitarist Martin Pugh.[3] Along with Stewart, Quittenton co-wrote Maggie May, (from Stewart's 1971 album Every Picture Tells A Story),[4] "You Wear It Well," (from Stewart's 1972 album Never a Dull Moment) and "Farewell" (from Stewart's 1974 album Smiler).

In 1973, Quittenton formed an instrumental band with Manfred Mann drummer John Lingwood, and bassist Pete Sears.[citation needed] Even though the band inspired considerable interest in the music business, and actually began recording an album with guest keyboardist Max Middleton, the band never got beyond the rehearsal stage.
