Memphis '69 and Early British Blues

Cerys explores the concert film Memphis '69, a time capsule of the 1969 Memphis Country Blues Festival. Plus we hear some early British blues from guitar prodigy Danny Kirwan.

Cerys explores the concert film Memphis '69, a time capsule of the 1969 Memphis Country Blues Festival. We also hear some early British blues from guitar prodigy Danny Kirwan, in a recording that's been released for the very first time. Music journalist Garth Cartwright is on hand to celebrate the recording and more from the compilation Something Inside Of Me: Unreleased Masters & Demos From The British Blues Years 1973 - 1976.

From cutting edge contemporary sounds to scratchy old vinyl from the past, whether it鈥檚 from Memphis, Mali, or Manchester, no stone is left unturned in the search for the best of the blues. With live guest sessions and interviews, alongside blues voices from the archives.
