John Perry discusses guitar tricks unique to John Martyn - as revealed by the man himself
Lanarkshire is hard country. Grey little granite houses huddle on the lee side of countless steep hills, and fast running burns rush down to join the headwaters of the River Clyde. Wind-swept sheep populate the fields and peat bogs, seemingly oblivious to the roaring air.
All in all it is tough country, and as such it's admirably suited to accommodate a man who has survived more than 21 years in a business which has found a dozen ways to kill off, stultify or suppress many of its greatest talents.

Adam Sweeting sees two seasoned performers back in action in London
Two enduring Celts played in London this week, both Sixties veterans who've survived upheavals of taste and style by sticking doggedly to their own version of events.

Martyn, vent' anni di rock amando il jazz
MILANO — Ci sono ricorrenze che nel rock valgono doppio, ad esempio i ventanni di carriera di John Martyn, cantautore di qualità, primogenito di una generazione ormai agli sgoccioli: la sua resistenza, la sua fedeltà a un linguaggio musicale che mai ha goduto dei benefici riflessi del mercato, la costante bontà di prodotti discografici rimasti ad appannaggio di un pubblico abbastanza ristretto se paragonato al grande business, fanno di lui una specie di pioniere e insieme un superstite, uno di quelli che mai ha accettato di piegarsi alle regole delle mode e delle classifiche.
