Fifty years after first touring Australia, Ralph McTell returns for one final farewell tour. The UK musical legend will perform much-loved work from an illustrious career which spans over six decades, armed simply with his songs, his guitar and his stories. The iconic “Streets of London” singer-songwriter will be performing in Sydney one last time.
Audiences all over the world are still drawn to his timeless classic Streets of London which catapulted him to global fame. The melodic beauty and cold hard truth of the song keeps it, sadly, forever relevant.
An accomplished raconteur, McTell also tells incredible life stories. From hitch hiking with Rod, ‘The Mod’ Stewart, playing Isle of Wight Festival alongside Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, a crap game with Tom Waits in LA, to his Ivor Novello award, an impromptu meeting with the President of Ireland and a trip to the BBC show The Repair Shop with a somewhat ragged kangaroo.
With a life’s worth of writing to choose from, McTell’s audience will be treated to not simply an autobiography of songs and stories, but a reflection of an epoque from a quintessentially English singer songwriter.
