Sigue Sigue Plastic

Director: 
Tinet Rubira
19 Mar 1991

John apparently participated in the final episode of the Spanish youth magazine Sigue Sigue Plastic.
It was broadcast the 19th March 1991. John plays Send Me One Line with the band from The Apprentice Tour. The track lasts 3 minutes and partly plays during the final credits.
We see a young Spencer Cozens on keyboards, probably Alan Thomson on bass, probably Miles Bould on drums and also a saxophone player.

Paul Weller was on the same show. "Su único compromiso era realizar un playback en el último programa de PLASTIC, en el que también participaba John Martyn, emitido en directo desde Barcelona al día siguiente."

During the Foundations Tour, John also visited Spain. For RTVE he recorded at least two tracks live in the studio, with the full band.
John plays a white guitar; Foster Paterson keyboards, Arran Ahmun drums, and probably David Ball on fretless bass.
Angeline lasts 5 minutes, Over the Rainbow two and a half.

JOHN MARTYN
UN HOMBRE TRANQUILO

A pesar de la exquisitez de tu obra, mucho me temo que en España no eres demasiado conocido. ¿Qué tal en el resto de Europe continental?
- «Mis discos se venden muy bien en lugares como Alemania, Holanda, Francia, Países nórdicos, donde por lo demás suelo actuar con alguna frecuencia.»

John Martyn: "La falta de escuelas en Gran Bretaña hace que la innovación funcione sin respaldo técnico"

Albert Mallofre
La Vanguardia

El músico y cantante escocés ha vuelto a Barcelona después de diez años

Desde 1968 en que publicó sus primeros discos, John Martyn se ha acreditato como un valor sólido de la música pop británica, evolucionando constantemente en el curso de una ejecutoria solvente que ha contado siempre con un firme respaldo popular.
