I saw him a few times up in Castlemilk Community Centre in the mid 90's. At one show he was wearing a pair of baggy trousers which tapered at the bottom and someone in the audience shouted "where did you get those trousers, Aladdin?" to which he replied "Aye, come on up here and I'll fkng lamp you one."

He was a brave man.

What a corking audience!!!! Lol!!!! Thank you for the clip. First time I’ve seen John Martyn in interview

Wow, you could bottle that sweat and resell it as whisky. Always good to see a bit of John Martyn though, might have to honour it with a bit of Grace & Danger at midnight with a bit of this table wine I've bought.

It would have been interesting to hear his take on some Motown songs, though. 🙂 Thank you for posting! 👏👏🙂

Seems well refreshed here

Johnny was far too good and yeah I Thank him for all his marvellous music Rest Easy John

Loved JM I had the privilege to see him play a few times. The Ferry, Liquid Rooms, Pavilion, Airdrie toon hall... just recorded my own version of "Send Me One Line" 😎

Who's subtitled this video? I hope you didn't pay them!

@@MarvinSumpter It is automatically done by Google, they could not even get his name right. I changed the spelling on his name, but did not bother to sort the rest as there's too many errors. Jools saying "Um" all the time does not help.

John was a rocket, but he was a talented man. I love his early albums.

I really wish JM had loved himself as much as the music.

I went to see John in Belfast with a friend back in the1980s, the ticket cost me three pounds and fifty pence, pretty good value for money, don't you think.

What a weird crowd

I always thought he was Scottish?

He was, but he grew up partly in London. People used to say he sounded more Scottish when he was in Scotland and more 'Cockney' when he was down South. Code switching, you could call it.

The redhead not looking too interested!!

He was a flawed genius. X

John's self depreciating humour was certainly lost on the zombie audience here. Doh...wake up.

A living leg-end 😂😂 jools didn’t catch any of his craic

Jools Hollland’s didn’t get the humour did he? Holland is def a bell end
