Concerts & Live Music

Eric Patrick Clapp was born on March 30, 1945, and was raised by his grandparents Rose and Jack Clapp when his mother couldn’t face bringing up an illegitimate child at the age of 16. He received a guitar for his fourteenth birthday and proceeded to copy the greatest blues players note for note.

In 1963 the Yardbirds, an aspiring R&B band who needed a replacement for their guitarist Tony Topham, sought Clapton out. The reputation of the Yardbirds was largely centered on Clapton, who had been nicknamed “Slowhand” by the crowd at Richmond’s Crawdaddy club. Clapton stayed for a year and a half until musical differences split the group.
