Sarah Jane Morris, Tony Remy, Tim Cansfield, Martyn Barker, Henry Thomas

John Martyn was a sublime genius, and an innovative musical talent who sadly died at 60. The oft used cliché of 'The difficult Artiste' fitted John like a well-worn overcoat. Trouble was his middle name. His career arc has been aptly described as a series of 'slow motion car crashes played out against real artistic achievement'. In spite of these self-destructive urges, John Martyn produced a canon of music that is both breathtakingly bold and achingly tender in its complex, atmospheric beauty. John Martyn's music influenced a generation of his peers, friends and fans alike. His
contribution continues to resonate many years after his passing. He has picked up endless acclaim worldwide from those fortunate enough to be seduced by his unique voice and instrumental mastery; and his music will live forever in the annals of popular music history.

Sarah Jane Morris, through her own brilliant interpretive vocal talents, has picked up this torch to shine a light on this great musical maverick, illuminating his life's work, in her inspirational new show.
