Hi He landed into my local pub in East Clare (Rep. of Ireland for those geographically challenged) back in the mid 90's. The owner at the time was an unbelievable character, but really knew his music and recognised him off the bat. Long story short, for the next week or so, John marytn stayed in the area, ,massive music & drink sessions into the wee hours with John on the piano.
Good memories -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Nickson Sent: 29 January 2009 16:30 To: leeds List Subject: [LU] Non LU: RIP John Martyn Most of you won't have hard of John Martyn, but his albums from the 70s were absolute gems, and he recorded the "other" Live at Leeds disc in 1975 - yes, it was a storming gig, with Paul Kossoff coming on at the end. Only 60, he had bugger all to do with LU, and he could be an irascible, drunk sod. But the magic of those albums are enough to keep his memory alive. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
