RICHARD THOMPSON Beeswing: Fairport, Folk Rock and Finding My Voice 1967–75 (2021 UK 272-page hardback book - Guitarist and songwriter Richard Thompson came of age during an extraordinary moment in British culture: it was 1967 and popular music was reflecting a great cultural awakening. In the midst of this, eighteen-year-old Thompson co-founded Fairport Convention and helped invent a new genre of music. In 'Beeswing', Thompson goes back to his childhood, recreates the spirit of the sixties and takes us inside life on the road in the UK and the US, crossing paths [and occasionally sharing the stage] with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Jimi Hendrix and more. An intimate memoir of musical discovery, personal history and social revelation, 'Beeswing' vividly captures the life of one of Britain's most significant artists during a heady period of creative intensity, in a world on the cusp of change. Complete with the outer dust jacket which has a small area of wear to the top of the front cover but otherwise remains in excellent condition)
