John Martyn: One World... One John (2012)

Originally this film was called 'Tell Them I'm Somebody Else' and was released in 2001 on VHS. Filmed between 1999 and 2001 in Scotland and Ireland capturing John and band at was has been arguably called the height of his performance career. After John's death in 2009, they along with John's estate felt that we would like to create a tribute to John from the amazing amount of unseen and moving footage they had filmed over the years. To do so they completely re-edited the original replacing half of the material with new unseen footage creating a different film altogether for release on this DVD. John Martyn, OBE (11 September 1948 - 29 January 2009), born as Iain David McGeachy, was a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. Over a 40-year career, he released 21 studio albums, and received frequent critical acclaim. Martyn began his career at age 17 as a key member of the British folk music scene, drawing inspiration from American blues and English traditional music, and signed with Island Records.
