RICHARD THOMPSON

70th Birthday

Our greatest guitarist and probably our greatest singer songwriter. Happy Birthday Maestro!

Some favourites, live . . . . . 



Of course he can go quite dark . . . . 



'Who knows where the time goes'
for Sandy Denny


Valerie . . . . 


Perhaps my very favourite Richard composition here with the peerless Bonnie Raitt


Richard Covers Britney


with the sorely missed Nanci Griffith who has seemingly gone underground and allegedly runs a bookshop somewhere way out in the midwest . . . but has ceased singing and writing it would seem and having suffered and survived cancer (twice?) we forgive her mercurial star anything . . . 


of course the Richard Thompson Band could rock too!


truth speaks to power . . .this song hits me right in the heart and summarises my political views and several bully boys I have come across in life

where it all started  . . . . for me
