Man of the moment Teddy Thompson joins t5m in an exclusive interview to give us a bit of an insight into his wonderful world. This video also includes footage from his New Year concert in New York last year which raised money for the Save Darfur cause. Samantha Power, one of Obama’s advisory team, gave a rousing speech, and t5m patron Rufus Wainwright also took to the stage with other musical friends and stalwarts of the New York scene. Teddy and Rufus brought the house down with a duet of King of the Road which they originally recorded for the soundtrack of Brokeback Mountain.
Teddy’s new album, A Piece of What You Need, has been getting rave reviews and many think it is his best work to date. Produced by super-producer Marius de Vries, it’s a tour de force of song-writing at its best. It went into the UK album chart at no.10 and the first single ‘In My Arms’ is an upbeat swinger not to be missed.
