Eric Clapton

A concert by Eric Clapton, the British blues, hard rock and rock guitarist, singer and composer, at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Eric Clapton, born in 1945, is a British guitarist, singer and composer working across blues, hard rock and rock. He began his career in 1962 and released his self-titled first album in 1970, a record that marked the start of his solo work after a long run of projects in British blues.

The evening brings the blues, country and folk strand of his repertoire to the Royal Albert Hall, a large hall in South Kensington that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The programme suits listeners who follow Clapton's guitar playing and his songwriting across several decades.

The concert forms part of a visit to London, with several dates on the tour. Those interested in the blues tradition, in country and folk-inflected guitar work, or in the long career of one of Britain's best-known guitarists will find the evening a direct way to hear the music first-hand.
