MONTCLAIR LITERARY FESTIVAL TO PRESENT RICHARD THOMPSON, ELVIS COSTELLO IN ONLINE ‘CONVERSATION WITH MUSIC
Join legendary UK singer and guitarist Richard Thompson for the launch of his memoir Beeswing: Losing My Voice and Finding My Way 1967-1975 with iconic singer-songwriter Elvis Costello on Tuesday April 6 at 8 p.m. (EST).
Beeswing is a moving and immersive memoir, in which Richard recreates the spirit of the 1960s, where he found, and then lost, and then found his way again. Covering the pivotal years from 1967 to 1975, the formation of band Fairport Convention, the heady success and then departure, and his discovery of Sufism, Beeswing vividly captures the early years of one of the world’s most significant and influential guitarists and songwriters.
