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