Blues Weekend declared in Britain

Following the Heavy Metal Guitar weekend last week, this weekend it is the Blues guitar on BBC Four on the UK.

The Blues guitar weekend kicks off with a program,
- Blues Britannia: Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?
It has three sections.  The fifties with the arrival of the blues with the likes of Muddy Waters.  The sixties and the birth of British blues with The Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds.  The end of the sixties where Eric Clapton and Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac emerged.

Peter Green - Fleetwood Mac

Then there is Blues at the BBC which is archive live fooatge.
Featuring The Kinks, the unmistakable electric sound of BB King and Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker, as well as less-familiar material from the likes of Delaney and Bonnie, Freddie King and Long John Baldry.

Again worth setting you video, TIVO or DVD recorder.  The programs are repeated all weekend and on BBC iPlayer for a month afterwards.
