    "I'd like to introduce the band, on bass Jaco Pastorius, on drums Phil Collins." Oh boy. Mountford Hall, Liverpool University late 1970s. We sat on the floor. Recall at one point his acoustic guitar discarded on the stage 'playing itself' via a Watkins Copicat or something similar. It was a hoot and so very memorable.

    Why are cameramen never guitarists? As much as John isn't bad to look at, id like to see what he's actually doing on the guitar?

    John Martyn, eh? Spanned more music in his time than anyone, always ahead, always original, lived in the hills, drank too much, but left us with just extraordinary, extraordinary, moving and leading music.

    Genius. That's definitely one for my funeral celebration. I saw it on Whistle Test in '73 when I was 14 - I loved it then and I love it now. Genius.

    I enjoyed the music, the rhythm, and the few words I could understand I'm sure if I listened to the track 20 or 30 times my ears may fit.

    I was given a vinyl copy of Solid Air by an art teacher in 1985/6 and it literally changed my whole outlook on music. An album that simply oozes class, ambience, warmth and talent. Like Bowie and Robin Williams John is one of those special human beings whose loss pains you even though you never met them. Thanks for all the memories Big Man.

    I was very lucky to meet John three or four? times in the 1980’s working as a freelancer at the BBC. A really lovely guy and on one occasion we ended up having a very large ‘jazz cigarette’ sitting in a BBC studio - shock horror - well it was the 1980’s. Really special memories from a long time ago. And what a brilliant song.
