Singer/Songwriter

Best remembered for writing the classic and much-covered song "Streets of London," Ralph McTell is one of the most enduring figures on the British folk scene. A talented guitarist and songwriter who also possesses a strong and expressive voice, McTell has enjoyed a long and successful career. Early efforts such as Spiral Staircase (1969) and You Well-Meaning Brought Me Here (1971) were the foundation of his reputation, with witty and just as frequently poignant songwriting plus his warm, rich vocals. In the '80s, McTell scored unexpected success composing music for children's television, and though he stepped away from writing fresh material for a while, he returned to form with 1995's Sand in Your Shoes. In the 2000s and 2010s, he was steadily productive, with frequent live shows and recordings.

Ralph McTell has also released music as a member of The GP's.
