Introducing… RJ Thompson

• 4th Jan 2011

I would love to take this opportunity to introduce you to a fantastic new band from Newcastle-upon-Tyne with a poetic and soulful sound.

Singer songwriter RJ Thompson is due to release his brand new single and E.P in the coming months. He has come a long way since beginning his career at the age of 15, performing at gigs and open mics around the North East of England.

Formerly releasing music as Richard John Thompson, he released his debut album ‘Hidden Daylight’ in 2003 and recorded and released the follow up ‘Illogical Life’ in 2005. This was shortly followed by an Acoustic Sessions EP pushing his career to the next level leading to 2 years of touring, supporting a range of artist including Gabriella Cilmi, Sandi Thom, The Proclaimers, John Mayall, Midge Ure, Ultravox, Deacon Blue, John Martyn, Joe Brooks, Gabrielle Aplin, David Ford, and Cara Dillon!

To add to the excitement, Richard is proudly endorsed by world renowned Fender Guitars, Taylor Guitars and Roland UK.
