My Brother died January 2011. I played and sang this to him at his funeral in Exeter. He was always a good strong brother to me and he knows that I loved him so. I chose this song because I learnt and played it for him for his last birthday a few months earlier. John Martyn was a wonderful songwriter. RIP

I had the pleasure of seeing John in Liberty Hall Dublin, around 1970 -- solo, a guitar and a 'wah wah' pedal. I swear there was a full band hiding somewhere, except the stage was completely bare except for a chair and mike. Such is the talent of a magical performer, singer and songwriter. Sadly missed, forever remembered and always sung in solo company -- just me and John beside me -- ar dheis de go raibh do anam dilis Iain -- (John Martyn was born as Iain McGeachy) -- sadly gone, but somehow always present -- just another bit of magic --

We heard music coming from the next carriage, we went to investigate, it was John Martyn and a friend, he was just gigging around the folk clubs at that point. We spent the entire journey with them, and got invited back to Johns house in Chelsea ... and left in the early hours !! In the '80's this song became an "our song" ... a different boyfriend though !!!

The minute a note was plucked the applause stopped, and no one clapped until the last note was played on every song or tune. The whole audience wanted to savour every minute. Most knew they would never get to see him perform again. It was almost reverence.

Heard John Martyn play years ago, he was at the Milton Keynes bowl with Genesis. Loved him, rushed out and bought his then current album (Glorious Fool) but I didn't like it, it was produced by Phil Collins and it showed, nothing like the great stuff he was playing onstage that day (remember the rain, anyone?). Confused, I let him go. Then, yesterday, I came across a John Martyn compilation in Tesco for three quid and I thought, why not? This is the first track on the album and it's easily worth the money on its own. Always liked this song - knew the Eric Clapton version - but his own performance of it blows Clapton out of the water. Was sad to discover he is no longer with us. What a great musician.

Some songwriters can play their stuff and some can sing it brilliantly as well. God bless you John for giving me such joy and also release from grieving . Thank you. Xx

I heard this song about 20 years ago and it instantly hooked me. I think this is one of my favourite songs of all time

I first saw John play live on 12 September 1976 in the Edinburgh Playhouse. He was on the bill alongside Bert Jansch (who I'd really gone to see) and Davey Johnstone. It remains, to this day, the best gig I ever attended. I was seated dead centre in the front row and I was just mesmerised by John's performance. I'd never heard anyone use Echoplex until that night and I could scarcely believe what I was hearing and seeing. From that night on I fell in love with his music and even now, over 40 years later, I still listen to him almost every day. Rest In Peace John and thank you for all of it.

Genius. That's definitely one for my funeral celebration. I saw it on Whistle Test in '73 when I was 14 - I loved it then and I love it now. Genius.

Whenever I'm having a bad time I listen to John Martyn and it always helps me resolve things. He's up there with Bach as one of the greatest composers ever
