We were deeply saddened to learn that Scottish songwriter, guitarist, and true legend John Martyn passed away early on January 29, only weeks after being awarded Great Britain's OBE (Order of the British Empire)...

John has always been one of my favourite songwriters, and back in the old days I used to have a collection of his records in vinyl. Peace...

Sad news. For me, John was a wonderfully gifted musician who never really got the credit he deserved.

yes - a great loss to music. Possibly my all time favourite singer/songwriter. RIP
