Richard John Thompson is a singer/songwriter from Newcastle-upon-Tyne who performs
both acoustically and with his full backing band.
To date, Richard has released two full length albums (2003’s ‘Hidden Daylight’ and 2006’s ‘Illogical Life’) and a 4-track ‘Acoustic Sessions EP’ (released in 2007). The EP features acoustic versions of tracks from his two full-band albums. A new full band EP is scheduled for release in summer 2009 (date TBC), containing 6 brand new tracks. Richard describes the EP as "a return to a rootsy sound, led by acoustic guitars, edging towards a modern blues record".
Over the past three years, Richard has supported artists such as The Proclaimers, Sandi Thom, Gabriella Cilmi, Ultravox, Midge Ure (UK and German tours), Deacon Blue, John Martyn, Duke Special, David Ford, Polly Paulusma, Geno Washington and Alexander O’Neal.
