John Martyn (musician)

John Martyn, pseudonym of Iain David McGeachy ( New Malden ( Surrey ), September 11th 1948 - Ireland , January 29 2009 ) was a British singer-songwriter andguitarist in the genre of folk .

He was raised by his grandmother because his parents were opera singers almost always on tour. At 17 he went himself to play and sing in the streets of London. His breakthrough came in 1967 with the album London Conversation on Island Records . As a songwriter, he has worked with Eric Clapton , Phil Collins , David Gilmour andRingo Starr and influenced artists such as U2 , Portishead and Eric Clapton . In 2003, his right leg had to be amputated because of a burst cyst . In recent years, Martyn performed in a wheelchair .

Martyn died on 29 January 2009 at the age of 60 [1] .
