In 1979, Kitcher joined Program, a band from New Milton, Hampshire, originally called Product 109, Program were part of the English "post-punk" movement and gained heavy publicity from a campaign waged by Tom Vague by use of Fanzine entitled "Vague". The band gained notoriety and interest but Martin received a severe electric shock while performing on-stage which stalled his career and indeed the growing cult band's too.

In 1982, Kitcher formed a band called “Agagaga” and released 2 albums, Greenworld (1987, Blitz records) and Agamemnon (1990, Dew Records), whilst at the time Kitcher also wrote theme music including a number one theme tune for a video featuring Frank Bruno.

The Martin Kitcher Band recorded a cover of Suspicious Minds for the charity Julia's House.

He also ran MKM Digital which currently has 70+ releases and manages, produces and arranges many acts.

In 2007, Kitcher released an album on CD and MP3 called Eyes to The Left on through his production company.

After a back injury in 2009, he was inactive on the live music scene in Britain since as a result, however he continued in a consultant role for some musical acts including Fitzpain who played at the Royal Albert Hall in London, in 2008, prior to the release of their second single "Perfect World" which he also produced.

Kitcher died on 21 May 2015.
