Ralph McTell
Music
• Folk
Lose yourself in fabled folk singer-songwriter Ralph McTell's storytelling
style, 50 years on from the release of his debut album, Eight Frames a
Second. The prolific songwriter made his biggest hit in 1974 with the
single 'Streets of London', which won him an Ivor Novello Award after
selling millions of copies worldwide. McTell is known for his mastery of
the acoustic guitar and his narrative style that bridges the gap between
folk and blues.
Shaped artistically by the poetry of Bob Dylan, the spirit of Woody Guthrie and the music of the Mississippi Delta, he has developed a style that has continued to defy easy categorisation. Delicate melodies, compelling stories; songs that seem at first 'easy on the ear' permeate the very soul of the listener.
