A tale about Elvis and John Martyn
Irish singer/songwriter Mark Geary (see Mahttp://www.markgeary.com/html/)
tells the following
story in a Dublin Event Guide feature on music festivals :
What`s been your best festival experience?
Well I`m sorry to say that I`ve been to a few festivals , `cause I`m usually
broke and playing gigs meself , but me fave experience was in New York at
The Guinness Festival a few years back ( 1999). I had a little room beside
Elvis Costello and after I came off stage and was hiding in me little room
there was a knock on the door and there Elvis was with John Martyn. They
asked if they could come in and borrow me guitar for a few mins as their
gear was already on stage , so I sat there and listened to them rehearse
their sets and drink all me beer. Lovely.
