Richard Thompson OBE is perhaps best known as a founding member of iconic British folk rock outfit Fairport Convention, but still continues to write and perform under his own steam. Described as a classic rock triple threat, Thompson's celebrated solo career has only blossomed thanks to his virtuosic guitar skills, strong and insightful lyrics and mellifluous vocal style. Don't miss the free-wheeling troubadour when he sets out on a handful of dates this year.

Best known as one half of the prolific 80s pop duo Hall and Oates, John William Oates co-wrote many of the band's best-selling hits, from Out Of Touch to Maneater. Yet in 1999 the singer, songwriter and producer turned his talents to the open roads of the mythical American landscape releasing a rich tapestry of Americana in six subsequent solo albums. Join Oates for an unmissable evening of music and conversation that mines his knowledge of Americana for a beautifully crafted event.
