After being contacted by someone asking for info about an old 000 of mine from 83, I realised that what I thought were  lost BBC broadcast of John Martyn playing one of my 00 guitars at Cambridge Folk Festival in 1985, turns out to be a radio broadcast that was later released as the Live in Concert at Cambridge CD (after I'd given up looking and forgotten!)  So great to find them.  

John plays the 00 on the two acoustic tracks, Jelly Roll Blues and May You Never, these are just a couple of short samples from the recording.  The CD is put out  by the BBC/Strange Fruit (CAFECD007), and is worth checking out.

If anyone out there has a video recording of the concert (I'm pretty sure it was on TV at the time, but my memory is a bit hazy!) I'd love to hear from you!

John Martyn-May You Never

A recording of my Great Friend The Mighty Hog from Connemara, Michael Casey and his fellow Hoglets...This was recorded in December 2003 live in Mulligans Irish Pub, Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria.....Men may come, Men may go...but The Hog goes on Forever!!!

The Hogs Nancy Whiskey

Live version of The Trad Folk Classic "Mary & The Soldier" made famous by Paul Brady & Andy Irvine. The Venue was the "Acoustic Off Licence"...a short lived but wonderful incentive ran by like minded creative people...But as usual in this country, there was no money granted to fund it properly...loads of money to pay for  aircraft &bombs to kill innocents in other peoples countries though...Funny That isn't it?
