A few shots from the Cropredy music festival

People often ask me who my favourite guitarist is.... expecting me to say someone like Hendrix, Gilmour, Clapton, etc.

They are always a little surprised when I say Richard Thompson. He really is my guitar hero.

Who I hear some of you ask.....

Have a listen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdrpCIpMQkI

One of our finest singers, songwriters and guitarists. He is now 75 and still wowing audiences all over the world.

It is hard to imaging a 75 year old bloke with an acoustic guitar standing in front of an audience of 25,000 people, and a hush comes over the crowd. you can hear a pin drop. He is such a musical presence, and just owns and captivates the audience for 90 minutes.

Yeah OK, I'm a bit of a fan boy..........😁

Thanks for the introduction, I am loving listening. What a lovely style to his playing and I like his voice. Superb diction too.

Fabulous portrait, thanks for the link I will have to listen a bit later.

I immediately thought of Fairport Convention but being a bit of a musical Neanderthal I had to check my facts. Pleased that my memory served me right for a change.

That is a super portrait. He will be delighted with this I’m sure!
