Biography
Ralph McTell is probably best known for the song Streets of London which has been covered by over a hundred artists around the world. From Clare to Here has proved almost as popular, during a long and continuing recording and performing career.
McTell’s guitar style has been influenced by many of the USA’s country blues ‘Piedmont- style’ guitar players of the early 20th century, including Blind Blake and Blind Willie McTell, from whom he took his name.

I'm really not a fan of ragtime, which granted means most of his repertoire isn't for me, but some of his stuff I adore.

quite under-rated due to his one massive hit. a fine singer and superb guitarist well worth investigating.
