Doors: 7pm

Show: 8pm

For over 30 years Ken Haddock has been hosting his Sunday Supper Club in Belfast’s

Empire Bar. With a pool of the cream of Belfast musicians at his disposal the night

has become the stuff of legend as Ken regularly delivers 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 year on 11 th September which by no coincidence is John’s birthday, Ken will

perform a very special 2 hour celebration of John Martyn’s music in The Mandela

Hall Belfast.

This special full band show will feature Colm McClean on guitars, Conor McCreanor

on upright and electric basses, John McCullough on keyboards, Dave Howell on

saxes and Adrian McIlduff on drums.

The show will cover all of John Martyn’s career stretching right back to his 1967

debut album London Conversation.

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 delving

into material that quite frankly not many others would even consider attempting;

songs like John Wayne, Looking On, Small Hours and Big Muff.

John Martyn himself caught Ken singing 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!
