@johnmartynproject.bsky.social at the Gulbenkian, Canterbury. Tricky to do justice to such a wayward and singular voice, but in their own way they conjured Martyn's spirit, stunning harmonies and guitar work, solid rhythm section, from the gentlest midnight quiet to raucous noise. Recommended.

Michael Palin, interviewed by Miranda Sawyer at King's Place. A sensible, sensitive, unpretentious, worldly, and still a bit spiky, voice, in a world of aggressive opinions and self pity.
