A long time ago, when I was working as a Tape-Op at Cava Studios in Glasgow (I think it was around 1990/1991) I happened to meet John Martyn.

The man himself, the legend!!

As I was a bit green behind the ears, and of course these were the days before t'interweb and the marvellous wikipedia, I got onto the subject of our surnames being the same. Not only was he a Martyn, but I was too.

There I was, ready to go and tell the world that I was in some way related to John Martyn. My long lost uncle perhaps, or second cousin)...

John soon put me right though by admitting that his real name was Iain McGeachy.

Gah!

Anyway - it's good to see Uncle John on the cover this month!!
