Saw them last night at the Tung in Liverpool. Excellent show, similar setlist to Birmingham. Ric didn't look his usual self, so maybe the illness has taken a while to get over.


Agreed. I was there too. Ric was quiet, but played beautifully.
This format really shows off their excellent musicianship. An excellent night.

Oh dear, poor Ric… hope he will soon be ok and hasn’t passed it on to anyone else.

Set list from Birmingham. I first saw them in 1996 so enjoyed hearing a track from Jewel In The Crown. Nice mix of classics and some of my personal favourites. Even had a song about my birth County.

Richard Thompson's new album - Hippies, Thugs & Heroes.

Downloaded and listened to with morning coffee - it's one of his best in years. Featuring memorable songs, the usual fabulous guitar work, and even a silver band !
60 years into his career, at 77 years young, Richard's pulled a really good one out of the bag.
Purchase and listen with confidence.
So good, I might just have to give it another spin..
it's his best for ages

And today we also welcome Tied to the Land from The Owl Service.  It's a great folk-rock album which I commend to the masses.


Thanks for the heads-up - I don't know how that one passed me by.

Fully agree. I never really got into his last few (I enjoyed most of Electric but not much after that) but this is RT back on form.

Really nice guitar sound, especially rhythm guitar. Bit more distortion than usual?


I've long thought he didn't have a really decent album in him any more, but I've really enjoyed this on first and second listen.  I'd go so far as to say it's by far the best RT release this century - aka since Mock Tudor ('99)
