FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
This website
This is the official John Martyn Website endorsed by John’s estate. It is a celebration of John and his music with a vast amount of content provided free of charge to fans for non-commercial purposes.
This is the only website dedicated to John Martyn that John himself endorsed and approved. John appreciated this site and the contribution made to it by you, his fans.
Record companies come and go, this is not a record company site, it is totally independent.
We’ve supported and promoted John for over 25 years now and, god willing, we’ll still be here in another 25 years!
Even though John is no longer with us it is important that we continue to celebrate John and his music and that is exactly what we do here on JohnMartyn.Com!
Who operates the website shop?
The shop is an affiliate store operated by Amazon. We’ve been promoting and selling John’s music on JohnMartyn.Com for over 25 years, so please support the website and buy your music, DVDs etc through our shop. Thank you for your support.
