Ralph McTell is one of Britain’s most respected and best-loved singer/songwriters. His career dates back to the mid-1960s folk boom when, influenced by American bluesmen such as Big Bill Broonzy and the
Reverend Gary Davies, he gained a reputation as a skilled finger-style
guitarist.
Artists such as Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie inspired McTell to write his own songs. Best known for ’Streets of London, the million-selling worldwide hit, Ralph McTell has written hundreds of songs – his writing has earned him the Ivor Novello Award and a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award for songwriting.
