A Lark Ascending Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Enjoyed the Martyn programme, though he seemed in a bad way. Not just from the leg op. It seems all those years of excess have really hammered his health. A unique talent in the 60s and 70s. That point when he was mixing his folky past with the echoplex guitar weirdness was sheer perfection. The drift towards a more conventional rock style from the mid 70s seemed to lose all his individualism. Yet I saw him play with Danny Thompson in the mid/late 80s and it had all the power of the early 70s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
