Iain Matthews: A People's History

Houghton, Richard

Iain Matthews – A People’s History is an oral history of one of Britain’s leading singer-songwriters. One of the founding members of folk-rock pioneers Fairport Convention, Iain left the band in 1969 to further a career in music that now spans almost 60 years. He created the chart-topping act Matthews Southern Comfort in 1970, who had a number one single with a cover of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Woodstock’, and in the 50-plus years since is widely acknowledged as one of the torchbearers responsible for bringing American folk and country music to British audiences.
