Richard Thompson is one of the brilliant and innovative guitarists of our time. A superb electric and acoustic player as well as a powerful singer and songwriter, he has been blending traditional Celtic and English music with American rock 'n' roll since the mid-'60s when he helped found the seminal British folk-rock band Fairport Convention. Throughout the years, he has become one of our greatest musical treasures, touring and recording regularly both as a solo artist and with his band.
