Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is one of the World’s pre-eminent Blues/Rock guitarists. His story spans five decades, from The Yardbirds in the mid sixties, via John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, the seminal Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends and Derek And The Dominos, culminating from the early 70’s in his career as a solo artist.

The only triple inductee into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, (as a member of both The Yardbirds and Cream and as a solo artist,) he has earned numerous Grammy’s and other awards from all over the World. His admirers comprise a veritable Who’s Who of music cognoscenti and, not for nothing, has he been dubbed ‘The Musicians Musician’.

The driving force behind all of Clapton’s success has always been and will remain the Music and in particular the Blues. This first love inspired a boy from the small village of Ripley in Surrey, to pick up a guitar and attempt to emulate his heroes. In doing so he himself became a hero to millions.
