A bit of cleaning up..

06 Jan 2025

Happy new year first of all.
Two things have changed on the One World website.
First of all I closed down the X-account associated with it and killed all Twitter functionality. It was hardly used anyway and I will not be associated with the political activities the owner of the platform has recently been unfolding.
Then I decided to close the Guestbook because people were not using this channel any more. It was mainly causing trouble as it was getting increasingly difficult to fight thousands of comment spam entries from Russia, per week (!).
Apart from this, I will try to keep these pages online and up to date.

Harmony Of The Spheres - remastered on vinyl

04 Aug 2024

For the people who did not get their hands on Neil Ardley's Harmony Of The Spheres: a small record company from Chichester, Analogue October Records, are preparing a high quality vinyl rerelease of the album. Licensed from Decca, remastered/ remixed from the original master tapes and pressed in Germany.

Originally the release was planned for 15 November 2024, then there were some problems with the test pressings. The release was pushed back, initially to December 20 and the estimate is now February 8. The price is totally audiophile. So it might be worth the effort to look for second hand CD's or older LP's that might come on the market this spring.

Summer Gathering coming up..

13 May 2024

The 2024 Summer Gathering will be a special one, as this is the tenth edition. It will take place mid June, the weekend of 15 and 16, at Mickleton Village Hall, Barnard Castle. Some very interesting artists have been booked and bass player Alan Thomson will also be present. From my own experience I can highly recommend the company.

Traditionally during the last weekend of January, John Martyn fans get together in Glasgow for a so-called winter gathering. The upcoming one is to take place Saturday 27 Januari 2024, at the Clutha & Victoria Bar, 159 Bridgegate. Expect some interesting artists to perform and a lot of inspiring, friendly company.

It has been 14 years that John passed away. He still manages to attract new listeners and every last weekend of January, fans, friends en family come together in the Clutha (Glasgow) to enjoy music and each others company. This year was no exception.
