As far as Cyril Davies is concerned, I cherish my vinyl EP of his Allstars playing "Country Line Special" - an absolutely riveting record - featuring, of course, that great pianist Nicky Hopkin. Korner was not a great guitarist or singer, but a great promoter of the music and a great broadcaster - also a promoter of the guitar work of Davy Graham. There was also the excellent blues harp player Mox Gowland who was a feature of the Cousins allniters - now living in France.

As far as (the young) Peter Green is concerned, he was highly praised by B.B. King for the soul in his music. He's never been the same since his illness, IMHO, but was a wonderful performer. However, I would agree with Richard that the Blues Band are very tame - and always have been. If you get away from the known names in this country, there are many regional musicians who can give blistering performances and who have an immense knowledge of the music.
