John Martyn
John Martyn is one of Britain's originals; a man whose distinctive, drawling vocals and virtuoso guitar playing have been an inspiration to household-name musicians for decades. As a musician, singer and songwriter he remains incomparable. His recording career now spans over five decades and he has produced more than twenty albums, incorporating elements of reggae, jazz, blues, folk, rock and hip-hop into his unique sound. Martyn's music has bewitched and enthralled audiences across the decades. With classic albums like Solid Air, Bless The Weather and One World, along with the extraordinary performances with Danny Thompson in the 70's, his legendary status is assured. A friend, collaborator and label-mate to the late, great Nick Drake, Martyn was of key importance to the UK folk scene of the early 70's.
