Like the comments say, it does indeed look like a young John Martyn.

It does look like him,

but this is John martyn a year earlier, and I don't think it's the same http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=pYLVM560Fok&feature=related

I could be wrong though, I've been wrong about something before once. Can't remember what it was though.

I think it's Daithi Sproule in his younger days.They were in Skara Brae together.

It could be him.

Re: Who's this... ?

i've just been checking out photos of Daithi on the net and I'm sure it's him.

That's Gerry O'Beirne.

Not so sure it's Daithi - all teh early pictures of him have him wearing glasses .

Gerry O'Beirne ? Could be - 12 string and all, must check.

Re: Who's this... ?

Yes,you may be right.

Re: Who's this... ?

And some "research" (for want of a better word) would suggest that it was Gerry O'Beirne, he co-produced Promenade with Michael, and the fottage was taken from 1979, so Skerries is likely right.

Hi,

I was just checking in to see how the debate was going and I realised my contribution might have seemed a bit abrupt. Sorry about that! I was in a hurry.
