Hoot, Spencer's story isn't really a history of the blues, rather the history of a song through its journey from Africa to the pop scene. Each track on the CD will show how the song would have progressed and developed as different artists within the history of blues got their hands on it. In the live performance Spencer did for a group of 14-15 year old pupils in our secondary modern school we all heard the same song nine times, but we were absolutely spellbound by the story and the youngsters saw and heard instruments and styles that were new to them. We were left wanting more.
Spencer is a great story teller, a wonderful musician and a thoroughly nice chap. (You are right though, the more we discuss him here, the more people will know about him!)
