    Hello everyone thanks for lending me your eyes and ears and watching my video! I've just released a new track titled 'Golden Days' which I'd love for you to listen to! Here's a link to the song for those that would like to lend me their ears one more time x

    No idea how this got into my YT feed, but seeing you here takes me back to Hastings, c1971-3 where JM was living when he wrote this song... I recall every other long-haired young hippy guy at the time seemed to have a guitar strapped to his back and a repertoire including Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Bert Jansch and more... One night we all crowded into an upstairs room in a pub in the Old Town to hear John run through his 'new' album, Solid Air, prior to taking it on tour. An unforgettable evening.
    I really enjoyed your rendition and am so happy to see this gentle musical tradition may not have completely disappeared in my beloved homeland...

    The hill in Over the Hill refers to West Hill in Hastings where John lived when he wrote this song.

      @@ChrisBrainMusic I've kinda been obsessed with this song for a few years now. I searched the internet for a video of John Martyn playing it live but no luck. There are lots of covers, some bad some good but none that really sound like J M. except you. I like you even got the mando part in there too. Also I like the little blues lic you play at the end of the chorus. Your voice is very cool to and fits very nicely for this song. Well done . Are you playing in DADGAD?

    Because of you and a few others I finally took a listen to Nick Drake's stuff and I've since listened to the Pink Moon album easily over 30 times in the last couple of weeks. Either way keep up the music original and otherwise, also it's kind of uncanny how similar your style is to Nick's at least in a few songs.

    I like that song of wild dafty Martyn and hard to believe it took him only 38 years to go from writing it to being skint, evicted and into an early grave through years of booze and drug which makes we wonder if he was quite possibly a Moth in an earlier life. Is that standard tuning pal ?. Might learn it myself for some fowkie Open Mic thingymajig. Also when I was living around High Wycombe & Reading you would see a lot of Kites that are beautiful to watch and not a bird you see a lot in Scottyland. Also cudos for making the effort to go sit in a field and record as its easy to feel a bit daft doing so when it would have been easier to just record this in the hoose. You take care Jimmy
