An interview with Ralph McTell for the Acoustic Promotions Web Site
The prestigious 2002 BBC Radio Two Folk Awards acknowledged one of the acoustic world’s finest and most respected singer-songwriters, when Ralph McTell was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Contribution to Songwriting. Ralph has embarked on a major tour showcasing material from a new album “National Treasure”, featuring classic and original songs played on authentic instruments, including the distinctive steel-bodied resonator guitar favoured by many of the revered blues players of the 1920’s and ‘30’s.
The following is part of an interview in which Ralph talks to Steve Nunn about aspects of the new album, the guitars, the tour and artistic motivation.
