John Martyn, Superstar!

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.

Martyn remains one of the best

THE SAYING goes that old hippies fade away. But John Martyn is the exception to the rule - as he proved at the Hexagon last night. After more than 20 years on the circuit he just gets better, turning in a tight and brilliant set.

John Martyn [Oor]

"Mensen botweg dwingen om naar je te luisteren, dat stoort me..."

John Martyn spreekt bijna achteloos over z'n mateloze obsessie voor vrouwen. "Ach, ik ben nu eenmaal een geboren romanticus," voegt bij er breed grijnzend aan toe. Martyn (33) praat in de vierde versnelling, doet druk, lacht veel, maar het merkwaardige gevoel dat z'n jovialiteit ieder moment om kan slaan blijft voortdurend aanwezig. Vanuit een folk-hoek heeft bij zich ontwikkeld tot een niet te categoriseren artiest. Z'n muziek is stijlvol, ingetogen emotioneel en werkt vaak op welhaast bedrieglijke wijze bedwelmend.

Bristol, Colston Hall, 3 Nov 1981

HE LOOKS an odd sort of bloke, does John: under the guitar, he's wearing a beige suit with a jacket that crumples in all the wrong places, and the naval full-set under the beetle-brows imparts a vague menace.

What a Combination

SOME alliances are just too brain-achingly bizarre to get a grip on.
For example, in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Robert de Niro played opposite Richard Briers.
Surely that couldn't really have happened. Gerry Adams sitting down for a cosy chat with Patrick Mayhew? Fair enough. Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat involved in a bit of cosy parley over tea and crumpet? Yeah, why not. But Travis Bickle meets Tom out of The Good Life? Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.
