Martyn Joseph Performing "How Did We End Up Here"

[Rosee2807]

I love Martyn, absolutely love him! Was introduced to him by my parents, and I think he's just amazing! : )

[mullahnasruddinQQ]

Well this version simply ROCKS! The studio version seems a bit uninspired, anyway he is the man for a stage...

[MyBestSiteEver]

Folkingdot, is there any way you could post "Next Time I See You" from the "Being There" CD? One of his best and can't find it anywhere. Thanks

[folkingdotcom]

@MyBestSiteEver - Sorry, have not had the pleasure of recording Martyn doing this track yet.

[SuperVelvetrose]

off to see him live in June

[joeygsmom]

very good playing and voice, this is the first of his songs Ive heard I like him already.

[becky8610]

Sounds like mumford and sons :D

i like it.

[Pasalaqcua]

@becky8610 Mumfords and Sons are a terrible, uninspired run of the mill folk band and comparing Martyn is an insult.

[mullahnasruddinQQ]

@becky8610

Well, funny comment I came her because today i came along MUMFORD and remembered this great artist MJ is. So I guess the mumfords are his sons ;-)

[myinspiration3]

Awesome! Great singer, entertainer and guitarist. We are grateful in little old Banbury that he has blessed us with his presence this last weekend.

Martyn is AWESOME, My wife and I have seen him twice at Leyland Wardon Arts centre and we sat mesmerized. He is just so natural live, funny and moving, watching him play a guitar just blows me away, just listening to him play makes you feel happy, emotional and in awe. Thankyou Martyn for making a difference in life, Please don't stop writing such amazing music.

[lemminggal007]

does anyone have the chords for this its not in his book

[snowmoonelk]

Reminiscent of Dire Straits!  Just heard him on Aled Jones' Radio 2 programme - he sang a song called Cardiff Bay (I think) it was beautiful!

[wendyjensenca]

I love Martyn, just can't get enough of his music and a true gentlement in person as well!

[runningoutofangels]

I never heard that song before now. Just felt a chill run down my spine. This guy is a true artist. I found this one because I was looking for "love is" and thought the title was cool...I hope "love is" is on here somewhere though

[ColinCashin]

I saw him play last night opening for Ani DiFranco in Edmonton. I had never heard of him before but he absolutely blew me away, I was really moved by his set. He's a kind guy too, was talking to him after and got a CD signed. I'll be spreading the word about him for sure.

[flemingjk]

I saw Martyn open for Ani Difranco in Edmonton last night, and I absolutely loved his performance and music! I got a brief chat with him at the merch table, and told him so! Thanks Martyn for some wonderful music- I'm enjoying my 'acoustic' concert cd (Live Greenbelt '06)!

[mikegelson]

Anne atkinson is his number one fan !

[dreyam]

I was fortunate enough to see Martyn in an intimate livingroom concert this past January. There were maybe 30 people in total and he played really long sets. I even got a chance to chat with him for about 10 min during the break. It's 3 hours I will never forget. Just amazing.

[mcsphoto]

Martyn is a genius and the best kept secret in British music. Surely our most gifted songwriter and a superb guitarist. How is it that such immense talent can be seen at Caistor Sports & Social Club in Lincolnshire? He always gives everything at every gig and never fails to amaze. Go see him if you want to see REAL TALENT and a memorable performance, but be warned, you'll laugh with him and you'll probably cry when you consider his lyrics, like I said, the guy's a genius.

[cheljams]

Someone introduced me to him in the eighties, I didn't understand him then. But I do now. On the subject can anyone help me I'm serching for a christian album called the Fall and rise of the techno's

it has a song with a poem they tried to touch the sun, they sought the holy grail but icarus could have told them waxen wings will fail...i'd apreciate any civilised comments..

[bauschan]

Does he tour in Germany? He is great and must be so mzch greater in a live performance.

Keep on rolling dude

[Bradhunter33]

This is officially the first time I've ever heard of this guy. I know, its pretty crazy. but I think ill be spending some time digging up who he is. thanks for the post. incredible guitar.

[gw0lgn]

Martyn is such a rare talent. His music never lets me down.

[auguritutto]

It is obvious from the time sequences of he above posted comments that many comments must be being suppressed and that is a piss off and extremely censorial - I hope this is very clear to whoever is moderating - don't message me I won't open.

[auguritutto]

thank you you tube and poster for the opportunity to listen to this fantastically energetic performance - fine lyrics also to be proud of - solely in terms of actual video imagery so different for example to Celine Dion singing another lovely song The Power of Love. Anyway again many thanks. Enjoy.

[phuech]

Does anyone know the guitar tuning for this? Is it double drop D or an open D tuning?

[mamerong]

@phuech He uses DADGAD a lot, it might be that.

[whispersandechoes]

The guitar in this video is a Lowden LSE2 with spruce top and rosewood back and sides. It's a thinner bodied Lowden F more or less. :)

[mpatricksweeney]

does anyone know what kind of guitar he plays? i'm not familiar enough to recognize the style/make. remarkable talent.

[bobbelschen]

I love this song so much... Martyn is the best singer/songwriter ever!!

[gregstrong07]

I'm sorry, my son posted the above, the performance rocks

[gregstrong07]

hope your golfs better than your singing

[gregstrong07]

Wish they had kept yow locked up in the State best wishes wayne-meister strong

[steph306]

Brilliant! The best live performer I've ever seen!

[beckford00]
