British blues legend visits Bath
Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 15:26

The legendary guitarist and founder of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, is to play an intimate gig at Bath's Moles Club on Wednesday, September 2.
Peter & Friends includes a great combination of youth and experience: Geraint Watkins (also with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings), Matt Radford (also with Nick Lowe, Pete Molinari), Mike Dodd, Andrew Flude and of course the main man himself on lead guitar and vocals.

The set will comprise of some Mac/Green classics as well as a selection of some of Peter's favourite blues songs.

A great opportunity to see a British blues guitar legend performing live for the first time in more than four years.

As a figurehead in the British blues movement Green inspired BB King to say: "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard.

"He was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."

His career began proper in 1966 when he filled in for, and later replaced, Eric Clapton in John Mayall & The Blues Breakers. Composing two tracks and performing on more on The Blues Breakers next album, A Hard Road, Green inspired the nickname The Green God as the simpler God had already been attached to his predecessor Clapton.

Leaving the Blues Breakers in 1967, taking the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie with him, Green set up a new British blues band.
Calling themselves Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, later shortened to just Fleetwood Mac, the band went on to have chart hits in the 1960s with classic songs such as Black Magic Woman, Oh Well, Man Of The World, The Green Manalishi and the number one hit Albatross.

Leaving Fleetwood Mac in 1970 Green has spent many years fleeting in and out of obscurity as a result of on going issues thought to be brought on by LSD use in the '60s.

This year he has re-emerged with a full band Peter Green & Friends and was the subject of the BBC 4 documentary Peter Green: Man Of The World, produced by British music impresario Henry Hadaway, it was broadcast in May.
