RICHARD THOMPSON PHOTO GALLERY
WOMAD 97.
Richard Thompson staggers around stage after spotting an Australian audience in daylight for the first time ever. "God you're ugly", he quipped," well some of you are alright I suppose". It was banter like this that endeared the two Thompsons ( Danny partly visible on right) to the Aussie audiences , as well as the small matter of their extraordinary playing , which was absolutely stunning.
