A genius guitar player John Martyn's career has spanned folk, funk, jazz, raggae [sic] and rock but he has always remained a blues man, a man who "will always follow his heart, an expert technician, innovator and ignorer of fashion in pursuit of true style".

After 29 years and 25 albums John is happy playing an acoustic as he is making your head reverb with dub-influenced echo effects and he uses his voice as an instrument adding as much colour and tone as any piece of wood or steel.
