Eric Clapton CBE, is a British guitarist & composer, nicknamed slowhand. Born as an illegitimate son of the 16 year old Patricia Molly Clapp & Edward Walter Fryer, a 24 year old Canadian soldier stationed in the UK, Claptons father returned to his wife in Canada before he was born. Eric grew up with his grandparents believing they were his parents & that his mother was his older sister. Years later his mother married another Canadian soldier, moved to Canada & left Eric with his grandparents. When Eric was 9 years old he found out & the experience became a defining moment in his life. On his 13th birthday he received a guitar which he taught himself to play & at the age of 17 he joined his first band, the Roosters. Growing up listening to blues recording by the likes of Robert Johnson, Clapton first made his name as a member of The Yardbirds, a pop -influenced rock & roll band whose biggest hit For Your Love came whilst Eric was a member.
