Respect to john martyn who died this morning at the age of only 60.
He was one of the great music legends.

Ah no - bad news.
I'm a big fan - he was a troubled guy and let's face it, hasn't enjoyed good health for years. I saw him less than 2 years ago at a very intimate gig - absolutely spellbinding.
Amazing that such a hard living 'rough diamond' (for want of a better phrase) was capable of such aching tenderness in his music.
I'd urge anyone to buy Bless the Weather or Solid Air for starters if you're into dreamy, trippy jazz/folk bliss.
A sad day - RIP John.
Ya p- that's the gig at vicar street i presume you are referring to.
