This will be the fourth time sweet-voiced Teddy Thompson has played Brighton in the past two years.

The melancholy singer is the latest in a close-knit group of second generation folk roots singers (also including Rufus and Martha Wainwright) to achieve recognition in his own right but he still remains low-key.

So, here are ten things you might not know about Teddy Thompson:

1. He was born to super-folkies Richard and Linda Thompson, on a commune in 1976.

2. After his parents' divorce, his mother sent him to private school: "We didn't have much money but my mum thought education was very important.

"I don't really remember the commune, but I reckon there was a lot more drinking and sex in fields at public school."

3. After his A-Levels, Thompson went to visit his father and ended up staying in LA, where he became best buddies with Rufus Wainwright.

"Rufus' mum called my mum and said, 'Doesn't Teddy live in LA? Rufus has just moved there, and doesn't know anyone." The two embarked on a life of partying. "We were very young and he was a little starlet in the making. We had a lot of things at our disposal."

4. His first, eponymous album was released in 2000 on Virgin Records. He was then dropped and relocated to New York.

5. He first won over Brighton audiences at the 2004 Brighton Festival's tribute to Leonard Cohen, where he introduced an electric guitar to the proceedings, wearing a dazzling white suit.

6. He appeared on the soundtrack to Oscar-winning film Brokeback Mountain, singing the songs I Don't Want To Say Goodbye, written by the film's composer Gustavo Santaolalla, and King Of The Road, a duet with Rufus Wainwright.

7. He was responsible for drawing his mother out of musical retirement. He coproduced her comeback album Fashionably Late (after a 20-year break), played on it and led her live band.

8. His sister Kami sometimes joins him as an opening act.

9. His latest album, Separate Ways, was co-produced with multi-instrumentalist Brad Albetta and features an impressive supporting cast that includes Rufus and Martha, Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks, bluegrass/jazz banjo player Tony Trischlka and keyboard maestro Garth Hudson, of The Band.

10. His parents both guest on the album. Richard contributes guitar on five tracks while Linda joins him on a hidden track, a rendition of The Everly Brothers song Take A Message To Mary. Teddy now wants to do an Everly Brothers cover on every album.
