Tommy Emmanuel – Australia's Guitar Genius

A Breath of Fresh Air

When people talk about the greatest guitarists of all time, names like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page often come up. But in the world of acoustic fingerstyle guitar, few names resonate louder than Tommy Emmanuel. Hailing from Australia, Tommy has spent his life redefining what one person and one guitar can do — creating soundscapes so full and expressive, you'd swear there's a full band on stage. But it's just Tommy, his guitar, and a heart full of music.Born in 1955 in NSW, Tommy was destined for a life in music. By the age of four, he was already strumming along on a homemade guitar, inspired by the country music on the family radio. When he was just six, he and his older brother Phil were already performing professionally, touring rural Australia as part of the Emmanuel family band. After the sudden death of their father in 66, the Emmanuel family relocated and Tommy's passion for the guitar only deepened. He didn't receive formal training. Instead, he learned by ear, copying the sounds he heard and developing a unique style shaped by necessity, emotion, and endless hours of practice.If there's one name Tommy Emmanuel reveres more than any other, it's Chet Atkins. The legendary guitarist's fingerpicking style — where melody, bass, and rhythm are played simultaneously — blew Tommy's mind as a child. From the moment he heard Atkins' music, Tommy knew he wanted to master the same technique.Years later, not only did Tommy meet his hero, but the two became close friends and collaborators. In one of the greatest honors a guitarist can receive, Chet Atkins named Tommy a Certified Guitar Player (CGP) — a title he gave to only a handful of musicians worldwide. Their 1996 collaboration, The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World, showcased both artists' brilliance and earned a GRAMMY nomination.Though he played in bands during the 1980s — it was Tommy's solo work that truly revealed his genius. Armed with a single acoustic guitar, Tommy became a one-man orchestra. He played melody, bass, harmony, and percussion all at once, creating dynamic performances that are equal parts musical and theatrical.From dazzling renditions of Classical Gas and Somewhere Over the Rainbow to heart-pounding originals, Tommy's concerts are unforgettable.Over the decades, Tommy has become not only a global guitar icon but also a tireless ambassador for fingerstyle playing. He's released over 30 albums, toured relentlessly across six continents, and collaborated with legends including Mark Knopfler, Jason Isbell, Jake Shimabukuro, Molly Tuttle, John Knowles, and many others.Tommy Emmanuel doesn't just perform — he teaches, encourages, and uplifts. Many students admire his technique, but it's his heart-led approach that sticks with them. Tommy's life hasn't been without challenges. Like many who spend their lives on the road, he struggled with addiction earlier in his career. But he's been open about those difficult years, crediting his recovery and ongoing sobriety to a mix of faith, family, and a renewed connection to the purpose behind his music.His story is one of resilience, not just in music but in life. He's spoken publicly about mindfulness, presence, and living with gratitude — all of which shine through in his playing.Now in his late 60s, Tommy Emmanuel shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to tour internationally, sell out shows, release new music, and connect with fans of all ages. Whether he's playing on a small club stage or headlining a major festival, Tommy pours everything into every note.There's a reason people call him a force of nature. Join us in conversation to hear Tommy talk about his life, his stories and his music. To learn more head for his website hereTo connect with me, jump onto my website. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Bookseller, publisher, Dissenter and dinner-party host, Joseph Johnson was a great enabler in the late 18th-century literary landscape . . . Daisy Hay is the author of Dinner with Joseph Johnson: Books and Friendship in a Revolutionary Age and Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Exeter, and Kathryn Sutherland is the author of Why Modern Manuscript Matters and Senior Research Fellow in English at the University of Oxford. Together they join the Slightly Foxed editors to discuss Joseph Johnson's life and work at St Paul's Churchyard, the heart of England's book trade since medieval times.   We listen to the conversation around Johnson's dining-table as Coleridge and Wordsworth, Joseph Priestley and Benjamin Franklin, Mary Wollstonecraft and William Blake debate the great issues of the day. And we watch as Johnson embarks on a career that will become the foundation stone of modern publishing. We hear how he takes on Olaudah Equiano's memoir of enslavement and champions Anna Barbauld's books for children, how he argues with William Cowper over copyright and how he falls foul of bookshop spies and is sent to prison. From Johnson's St Paul's we then travel to Mayfair, where John Murray II is hosting literary salons with Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott, and taking a chance on Jane Austen. To complete our tour, we glimpse the anatomy experiments in the basement of Benjamin Franklin's house by the Strand. Our round-up of book recommendations includes Konstantin Paustovsky's The Story of a Life which begins in Ukraine, Winifred Holtby's conversations with Wollstonecraft and Woolf, a fresh look at Jane Austen's Emma and an evocation of the Aldeburgh coast as we visit Ronald Blythe for tea.
