Richard Thompson lives in LA, his dad was Scottish, he's one of Danny Thompson's sidesmen, a relative was in a ceilidh band, he knows a bit about piobaireachd, he's a Sufi, plays a nice bit of bluegrass, and wrote "Galway to Graceland". Shoo-in!

(Sorry about that, just been listening to him and Linda performing "I'm a Dreamer". Unbelievable guitar part. Feeling somewhat pro RT/LT at the moment).
