BBC2 radio yesterday evening broadcast the first episode of a new 6 week series where George Melly talks about the blues scene in the Uk in the 1950s onwards, interviews with usual suspects (Lyttleton, Patterson,Wyman, Clapton, McGuiness), archive interviews with Josh White, Lonnie Johnson etc and musical clips (Bessie, Broonzy etec etc.)
For the other 2 or 3 UK bluesfans on Mudcat, next week he will cover the great Skiffle scare of the late '50s.
I was out (listening to John O'Leary band play tribute to Paul Butterfield) so I've just listened to the prog. on BBC website, it will be up until the next segment is broadcast.
Log on at Melly's Memory of the Blues
