No, nothing like that, Jim wrote the Sessionography on the first pressing of
the Peter Green biography and currently writes for Blues In Britain.....

Oh Well, I got all mixed up there thanks Mario for keeping us up to date. R. Jim Greaves set list and rapport from the gig sounds very good. And I agree it would be great to get a prober recording and film from a concert.

Of course this has nothing to do with Peter Green, but I was a footballer...!

[Ms Moose]

Yes Mario. I knew you used to be a footballer, that's probably why I made the connection

Hi,
I'm new to this list ... just to say that I went to the gig at Farnham on the 8th - first time I've seen Peter Green since his days with John Mayall - and thought it was an excellent gig. His voice blends well with the music he now plays ... and wow, that guitar sound is still as vibrant as ever
Other musicians (Friends) were also great - Martin Winning I have seen several times with Mike Sanchez, and Geraint Watkins I've seen many times with Bill Wyman.
Now I want to go to more of Peter Green and Friends gigs!

Welcome! And thank you for your impressions of the gig. Very cool that you saw Green with Mayall - feel free to share your memories.
