Very sad news indeed. A genius on the guitar and what a voice!

Quote from: John Martyn

If I could control myself more, I think the music would be much less interesting, I'd probably be a great deal richer, but I'd have had far less fun and I'd be making really dull music.

RIP, what a legend.

One of my favourites; I give up trying to embed just one.

Very good tribute show on Radio 2 last night. Well worth a listen again (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/harding/index.shtml) if you've got the slightest interest in John.

Agree with JB, excellent show last night.
