Dick Appleton - Composer / Guitarist

Season 2, Episode 3,   Mar 16, 2022, 04:30 PM

Hear about Dick’s journey in music from a small town in the North of England starting out singing in a church choir, to buying his first Beatles record and plucking a guitar for the first time to Ray Charles. 

We talk about Dick being 1 of 15 people watching a Rory Gallagher concert, folk club etiquette and how he discovered his love of teaching music from having to fill in as a guitar tutor one night.

Dick is known for his many different stage acts, his use of over 19 different guitar tunings during one show and he was also recently commissioned to write music for a BBC radio documentary commemorating the Dambusters.
