Thread Name: Richard Thompson interview 2010
Subject: RE: Richard Thompson interview
The interview on Front Row tonight was really interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the bits were the interviewer persuaded RT to play a few bits and pieces. Basically saying, "Go on, play something please. ... Ah, that was great! Play something else, now."

It's exactly the right approach to interviewing musicians. He speaks in a very irrudite and intelligent way about the music he loves, but all the fans were dying to hear him play, the interviewer included!

The first comment after the DT article misses the point somewhat, doesn't it? Very funny, and a bit sad, as if chappie had actually heard "Rumor and Sigh" for instance he might find that he quite likes RT. Perhaps I should suggest that?
