About Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson’s musical influence cannot be overstated. Having co-founded the groundbreaking group Fairport Convention as a teenager in the ‘60s, he and his bandmates invented the distinctive strain of British Folk Rock. He had left the group by the age of 21, which was followed by a decade-long musical partnership with his then-wife Linda, and over 30 years as a highly successful solo artist.
