Eric ClaptonLegendary guitarist Eric Clapton returns to his favourite London venue to celebrate his 50th year as a professional musician. Over the last half-century Clapton has established himself as one of the most influential guitarists of all time - and he's the only three-time inductee to the Rock of Roll Hall of Fame. "This is like walking into my front room," old Slowhand Clapton joked ahead of a previous Royal Albert Hall residency in 2011. Supported by his impressive long-time touring partners - Doyle Bramhall II (guitar), Steve Jordan (drums), Chris Stainton (piano and keyboards), and Willie Weeks (bass) - Clapton will focus on a back catalogue from The Yailbirds and Cream as well as his popular solo material, including some of his recent blues and honky-tonk offerings. There's no reason to cry about this journeyman.

 

About Royal Albert Hall

One of London's most versatile venues, it is a favourite of performers from Jose Carreras to Kylie Minogue. More about Royal Albert Hall
