Small Hours: The Long Night of John Martyn

By Graeme Thomson

"It's [the] adherence to home-truths... which gives Small Hours its power... just as good as Thomson’s acclaimed studies of Kate Bush and Phil Lynott" 4* Mojo

 “… unflinchingly critical of Martyn’s failings and his substance-fuelled excesses (and) equally glowing in its praise of his finest achievements as a genre-blurring performer. Insightful and beautifully written." 4* Shindig!

"This painstaking, eloquent biography... balances the fan's assiduousness with a critic's seiving action." Observer

"Tethers the sometimes golden music to the often savage man, retaining sympathy for his subject and the casualties he caused." 9/10 - Classic Rock
