The Richard Thompson Band: Live at Celtic Connections by

8.50

Filmed in January 2011 at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow as part of the annual Celtic Connections festival, this superb performance by The Richard Thompson Band is their first to be shot in high definition. The first half of the show focuses on Richard’s recent “Dream Attic” album with the second half given over to songs reaching back as far as his debut solo release “Henry The Human Fly” and up to more recent projects such as “Sweet Warrior” and “The Old Kit Bag”. Thompson’s distinctive voice and unmistakable guitar style are well to the fore and, as ever, his band are as good as it gets.
