John Martyn - A Celebration from Ken Haddock and Band

For over 30 years, Ken hosted his Sunday Supper Club in Belfast’s Empire Bar. With a pool of the cream of Belfast musicians at his disposal, the night became the stuff of legend as Ken regularly delivered classic songs by the likes of Van Morrison, Prince, Tom Waits, and of course his lifetime musical hero, the late Iain David McGeachy OBE - better known to the world as John Martyn.

This special full band show will feature Ken as bandleader on vocals and acoustic guitar, and a band featuring the mighty Colm McClean on guitars, John McCullough on keyboards, Connor McCreanor on bass, and Adrian McIlduff on drums.

Ken and his band will work their way through the massive catalogue of JM’s popular songs like ‘May You Never’, ‘Solid Air’ and ‘Sweet Little Mystery’, whilst also journeying into Martyn material that is often overlooked or considered too ‘out there’ - songs like ‘John Wayne’, ‘Looking On’, ‘Small Hours’ and ‘Big Muff’.

(The great John Martyn himself caught Ken performing ‘Solid Air’ in the Empire Bar some years ago. He said that he’d never before heard anyone with a voice that could deliver the song quite like Ken. Legend has it that a late night ensued!)
