The first batch of acts have been confirmed for the John Martyn Tribute Festival, which takes place on September 15 and 16. in Carroll’s Market Yard, Thomastown.

Jamming with the great man’s band will be Mick Pyro, In Tua Nua’s Leslie Dowdall and festival veteran The Man Whom.

To meet his lovely, kind and gentle partner Teresa, to eat at his table and sit on his toilet will forever be one of the most surreal experiences of my life”.
