Richard Thompson

First time I saw him he had just left Fairport and was playing in a folk club. Long curly hair in those days.

50 years from making his first recording, he is still tremendous. One of the world’s great guitarists, and some back catalogue. This 13 Rivers Tour (opening tonight at the Phil in Liverpool) he plays as part of a trio, most of the time.

Support act Joan Shelley and Nathan Solsburg also excellent
