Off The Beaten Tracks 17 July 2026

My last Richard Thompson gig was a year ago this month at the Warwick Folk Festival so for no other reason than that, I've got a track by him from his live album Ducknapped and covers of his songs by Grace Petrie and June Tabor. I've also included a re-recording of Crazy Man Michael which Fairport put on their 2012 album By Popular Request. It was a song which Richard wrote with Dave Swarbrick for Fairport's Leige and Lief album. 

Listen to the show on Mixcloud or at 8pm from Monday on Ginger Feather FM.
