HonaloochieB Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Passed away today. An impossible, unruly unpredictable bastard at times, but some of his songs are transcendentally beautiful.I know it's easy to get sentimental on the day a person dies, but there is noone to replace him.RIP Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5058-john-martyn-rip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Mac Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Saw him once at the Fleadh in Finsbury Park in early 1990s, got a wonderful ovation from his many fans that day.

Mojave1979 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Knocked for six by the news. He'd been in ill health for many years, but it's still hard to take when it happens. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything tonight.RIP John.

Tony.London Suburbs Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Just talking 2 hours ago about how many 1960's- Artists are leaving us and how that makes sense as we are "50" and they would be around 65 so its always possible and now I hear that John Martyn is no more which is sad.John Martyn:R.I.P.

Eliza.D Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I hope his sun is shinning better on the other side. What a graet song writer/singer. Like all the greats his music had depth.Check out You Tube for his huge talent. Especially one of my favourites 'Sunshine'.
