Va ser organista i director de música a la catedral de Winchester del 1972 al 1988, i organista i mestre dels coristes a l'abadia de Westminster del 1988 al 1998. Neary va néixer a Londres i va estudiar teologia i música a la Universitat de Cambridge. Els anys a Winchester van ser especialment innovadors. A més d'ampliar el repertori coral tradicional, el doctor Neary va encarregar noves obres de Jonathan Harvey i, en particular, de John Tavener. Es van fer gires a l'estranger amb el cor de la Catedral i, a més dels seus propis recitals d'orgue a la Catedral, va atreure a organistes distingits de tot el món per tocar-hi, incloent memorablement Daniel Chorzempa, Daniel Hathaway i Marilyn Keizer dels EUA, Raymond Daveluy de Montreal, Peter Planyavsky de Viena i (entre d'altres) del Regne Unit, Ralph Downes. Amb els seus ajudants d'organistes James Lancelot i Timothy Byram-Wigfield va ser el responsable de la planificació de la reconstrucció i l'ampliació de l'orgue de la Catedral per "Harrison & Harrison" el 1986-88. Com a organista de l'abadia de Westminster, va ser el director musical del servei funerari de Diana, princesa de Gal·les, pel qual va ser nomenat tinent de la "Royal Victorian Order" (LVO) a la llista d'honor de Cap d'Any el 1998. La promoció de Neary de la música de John Tavener, la "Cançó per a Athene" d'aquest últim, va ser interpretada pel cor de l'Abadia, ja que el sarcòfag era confirmat pels portadors. El 22 d'abril de 1998, Wesley Carr, degà de l'abadia de Westminster, va acomiadar Neary del seu càrrec a l'abadia de Westminster per motius de mala conducta greu sobre les finances d'una empresa que ell i la seva dona havien creat per administrar les taxes dels concerts a l'abadia. Neary va sol·licitar a la reina Isabel II, com a visitant de l'abadia, que resolgués la disputa. La reina va nomenar a Charles Jauncey, el baró Jauncey de Tullichettle, el seu comissari. Lord Jauncey va determinar que la destitució sumària estava justificada. L'informe també afirmava que les habilitats musicals ben reconegudes de Neary i el dur treball que ell i la seva dona havien fet en nom de l'abadia i el cor, no estaven en dubte. La seva filla, Alice Neary, violoncel·lista, va guanyar el premi Pierre Fournier el 1998 al Wigmore Hall.

Martin Gerard James Neary LVO (born 28 March 1940) is an English organist and choral conductor. Neary was born in London, and read theology and music at Cambridge University. He was Organist and Director of Music at Winchester Cathedral from 1972 to 1988, and Organist and Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey from 1988 to 1998. In 1984 he was Artist-in-Residence at the University of California at Davis. The years at Winchester were especially innovative. In addition to extending the traditional choral repertoire, Dr Neary commissioned new works from Jonathan Harvey and, in particular, John Tavener. Overseas tours were made with the Cathedral choir, and in addition to his own organ recitals at the Cathedral he drew distinguished organists from across the world to play there, memorably including Daniel Chorzempa, Daniel Hathaway and Marilyn Keiser from USA, Raymond Daveluy from Montreal, Peter Planyavsky from Vienna and (among others) from the UK, Ralph Downes. With his assistant organists James Lancelot and Timothy Byram-Wigfield he was responsible for planning of the major rebuilding and enlargement of the Cathedral organ by Harrison and Harrison in 1986–88. As the organist at Westminster Abbey, he was the musical director of the funeral service for Diana, Princess of Wales, for which he was appointed a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) in the New Year Honours List in 1998. Neary's promotion of the music of John Tavener, the latter's "Song for Athene" was performed by the choir of the Abbey as the coffin was borne out by the pallbearers. On 22 April 1998, Wesley Carr, the Dean of Westminster Abbey, dismissed Neary from his position at Westminster Abbey on the grounds of gross misconduct regarding the finances of a company that he and his wife had set up to administer fees from concerts at the Abbey. Neary petitioned Queen Elizabeth II, as Visitor of the Abbey, to resolve the dispute. The Queen appointed Charles Jauncey, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, to be her Commissioner. Lord Jauncey determined that the summary dismissal was justified. The report also stated that Neary's well recognised musical abilities, and the hard work which he and his wife had done on behalf of the Abbey and the choir, were not in question. His daughter, Alice Neary, cellist, won the 1998 Pierre Fournier Award at the Wigmore Hall.
