John Martyn – The Smiling Stranger In Bremen – Live at Schauburg 1983 (2023)
“The bearded musician from the north of Britain had obviously consumed a substantial quantity of rum and cola before beginning the concert… and with the help of further drinks musical energy was released, which made the evening a complete success… two impressive hours of most intense music.” The Weser Courier, Bremen’s largest daily newspaper, reported a day after John’s concert at the club € Schauburg € in June 1983. No doubt about the rum, but John would have been apoplectic at the suggestion he was from € the north of Britain’ although born in Surrey he was Scottish through and through, and fiercely proud of it!
