I’ve sometimes been critical of the lack of Folk musicians appearing at The Harmonie in Bonn, so I am very glad indeed to see that they have booked the legendary Richard Thompson for next year (7 May).

Thompson had huge success with top Folk band Fairport Convention in the late ’60’s. He then went on to further success as a duo with then wife Linda Thompson. His songs, including ‘1952 Vincent black lightning’, ‘Beeswing’, and ‘Dimming of the day‘ are Folk classics. The Queen bestowed an OBE on Thompson in 2011 and the list of musicians who have covered his songs is a long and illustrious one. Oh, and he is also one of the ‘Rolling Stone’ magazines All-Time-Top 100 guitarists.

To quote his fansite:
“Thompson’s genre-defying mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar along with engaging energy and onstage wit continue to earn him new fans and a place as one of the most distinctive virtuosos and writers in Folk Rock history”

I think tickets are going to go fast for this one, so don’t miss out!
