Old gig tickets - John Martyn

So, it was 38 years ago today that I got on my bike and cycled the short distance up the A3 service road to see John Martyn's Well Kept Secret tour. Have no idea how come he came to be playing in a grotty spot like the old Tolworth Recreation Centre - but glad he did. Unlike reports of the rest of the tour, Martyn didn't have the volume up too loud and it was quality through and through. They clearly only had very short notice to put the tickets together! I can't remember who the support was, or even if I saw the support. But Phil Collins came on at the end to do a couple of numbers, and when he slid off Martyn crowed excitedly "Did you see him!"

When the man who runs the Big Muff website about Martyn finds this by Googling Martyn, this is a new gig to his list, and yes, he's welcome to have a copy of the pic.
