Performance NotesFolk hero Ralph McTell will play a special Royal Albert Hall concert celebrating his illustrious career and wide-ranging body of work.

More than forty years have passed since Ralph Mctell’s first appearance at the Hall, and since then he has performed here almost a dozen times as both a solo artist and as a guest of legendary acts such as The Everly Brothers and Nanci Griffith. An influential figure on the 60s UK folk scene, Ralph McTell is best known for iconic song Streets of London as well as his country blues guitar playing style.

For this unique concert Ralph McTell has decided to let his audience nominate which songs will be performed on the night.

During the concert McTell described the Albert Hall as “a proper London venue, a secular cathedral... you can feel all the spirits of all the performers who have been on here before”.

Ralph McTell's last Royal Albert Hall performance.
