morgaine_x has pointed out, the death of sometime Glaswegian singer-songwriter John Martyn has been announced.
A mate of mine from Glasgow claims John Martyn stole his name: John and his brother Martin went to see Martyn play in a bar in Glasgow before he was wellknown, and they were chatting after the gig; Martyn said he was looking for a stage name, and decided to take theirs!
