Description:

Ralph McTell and Dave Pegg have been friends for more than fifty years.
They have played on each other’s albums, performed at each other’s concerts and have shared family life’s ups and downs.

One of the great storytellers Ralph McTell is now celebrating more than fifty years on the road.
Known for his virtuoso guitar style, he is primarily a prolific and gifted songwriter.
With a style that invites you into a unique world, he weaves a narrative that is both significant and poignant.

Ralph made his debut in 1968 with the album Eight Frames a Second; his song Streets of London earned him an Ivor Novello Award.
In 2002 he was presented with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Multi-instrumentalist Dave Pegg is the longest-serving member of the UK folk-rock group Fairport Convention and has been bassist with a number of other folk and rock groups including the Ian Campbell Folk Group and Jethro Tull.
