Jerry Lee Lewis.

Geoff plays tracks from Jerry Lee Lewis's first-ever UK tour, his support act on the tour, and the British artistes given the impossible task of taking his place.

When Jerry Lee Lewis and his wife arrived for his first-ever UK tour in 1958, it emerged that she was not only his second cousin, but also just 13! Whilst this was legal in his home state, the British press were so horrified, they were both packed off home after only three shows. Geoff plays tracks from Jerry Lee, his support act on the tour, and the British artistes given the impossible task of taking his place.
