The 2021 edition of the John Martyn Gathering has been cancelled. The last weekend of June option could not go ahead because of the prolongued covid measures, and after examining the possibilities of the weekend of July 23rd one had to conclude that too many people would not be able to attend at a one month's notice. So the next chance to meet fellow Johnkies is probably going to be next January in Glasgow.
We had come, most of us, to pay homage to and enjoy the results of a 26-year career, spanning 21 albums.

I once saw a girl absolutely cream some poor bastard with a John Martyn record. He'd whispered some lewd suggestion in her ear and she just whipped around and gave him a tremendous shot in the temple with a copy of So Far So Good.
After thirty years away from it all, Beverley Martyn is making music again. She speaks to Bob Stanley about her music, friends, enemies and looking after Nick Drake.
Una serie di quattro concerti, un nuovo album live per una piccola etichetta e un soggiorno a Nassau per il disco ufficiale che uscirá l'anno prossimo. Tutto questo e altre notizie.
These are the ones I haven't found (yet). Additions are always welcome in my mailbox of course.
