埃里克·克萊普頓在全球巡演開始前，在吉爾福德舉行了多場小型演出，精彩紛呈

Eric Clapton, a legendary musician who was born in Ripley near Guildford, recently performed two special concerts at G Live in Guildford, Surrey. These shows were described as 'intimate warm up gigs,' meaning they were smaller and more personal than the large arena concerts he usually plays. Fans who attended said it was very meaningful to see Clapton perform in the county where he was born. Many people felt proud and excited to have such a famous artist return to his roots and share his music with the local community.

Lee Anderton, who owns a music store in Guildford, attended both nights of the concerts. He said that Eric Clapton seemed to be enjoying himself on stage, smiling and looking relaxed as he played his guitar. According to Lee, the audience loved the performances and the atmosphere was very positive. He believed that it was important for Eric to play in Guildford, as it is close to where he grew up. Lee also mentioned that the shows were excellent and that everyone who attended had a great time.

Derek Aldridge, who works at G Live, said that the venue was surprised when they first heard from Clapton's team. They thought he only wanted to use the space for rehearsals before his big tour. However, Clapton enjoyed playing at G Live so much that he decided to do his own solo shows there. This was exciting news for the staff, the audience, and everyone involved with the venue. Clapton is now preparing for a worldwide arena and stadium tour, with concerts planned in cities like Munich, Barcelona, and Chicago. He will also perform a special one-night-only show at the Sandringham Estate in August. Fans around the world are looking forward to seeing him play live.
