Speaking before his performance on the BBC, he said: “For me, this is like a full circle, a moment of nostalgia because this is the event I picked up the guitar 20 years ago after seeing Eric Clapton playing on stage.
“And then I played it 10 years ago for the Diamond Jubilee. It’s very nice to be back, there’s just a great atmosphere here.”
