Saw Jackie in Tregaron's Talbot Hotel in Wales a few years ago. Was a magical evening. Paid £10 for CD of his which was to be posted with handwritten lyrics enclosed. After a few months, had received nothing, so wrote a caustic comment on his Myspace. 2-3 days later received the CD, 2 poems, a handwritten apology, and another CD. A true gentleman, a fantastic artist. Sorely missed. Heddwch.
@joe2348 Yes I was at that gig too.....it was indeed a superb gig!. The next morning as we were eating breakfast in hotel the shower on the floor above began to pour water thro' ceiling into my hubbys cornflakes! (this is true). Glad you finally received the poems etc.Would you be able to post them on this site for others? Thanks so much for your message tho'. Tx
He will be sadly missed. Saw him play live a couple of years ago at the Robin 2 in Bilston. Must`ve been a dozen people in the audience! So underreated! I even bought him a pint.

Shame on you Jools Holland. Home grown superstars get left by the wayside !
Cried like a baby for the fine man I loved. A legend left to discover for so many.

Damn. I'm just checking out his music now because the Trouser Press website mentioned his death. Wish I listened to him years ago when he was alive!

Very sad. Saw him live some years ago. A great talent and a warm, charismatic man. Thank you for the songs and that voice.

I saw John Martyn a few weeks before he died. The terrestial bodies of our rock generation float away. Thanks for everything Jackie.

I saw him in Burnley a few years back:twenty people in the audience.
He played for two and a half hours, and told some fantastic stories.
Possibly the most overlooked and underrated musician this country has ever produced.

@murphsup Thanks for the comment.! I reckon 'The view from Shit Creek' is also well worth including on main album.
