INTERVIEW: Richard Clapton (PART 1)
His voice has been the soundtrack for Australian house parties and road trips for half a century, so it makes sense The Betoota Advocate would interview the iconic Richard Clapton in the lead up to the 50th Anniversary of his scene-shaking album Prussian Blue. But how did Richard Clapton become a rockstar before Australians even knew what a rockstar was? In Part 1 of this in-depth interview, Richard recounts his wild youth. From landing in London at the height of the Swinging Sixties, to living in an empty mansion in Berlin and partying with communists. That's before he even came back to Australia with his guitar and demanded someone give him a shot. In Part 2, we talk about the rise of Richard Clapton, but in Part 1, we talk about the origins.
