Fleetwood Mac founder in town for TV show

A GUITAR genius who wrote a string of Sixties classics is being filmed for a documentary about his life.

Peter Green, the driving force behind Fleetwood Mac's early success, is staying at his brother Mike's house in Peacehaven to prepare for the shoot.

The documentary, Man Of The World, is expected to delve into the personal history of the troubled star, who dropped out of the limelight after the end of the 1960s.

Mike recalled how when he was 16 and Peter was ten, he taught him to play the guitar as they both dreamed of success. He said: "I wrote the songs and he wrote the instrumentals.

"We just recorded them on a tape recorder. We used to send them off to EMI, and they used to send them back."

Mike later wrote a comeback hit for Peter, Little Dreamer, which charted at number 34 in 1980.

The pair are set to relive their boyhood partnership by performing Albatross together for the cameras when the programme-makers visit his house on Monday.

It was Fleetwood Mac's biggest hit with Peter as leader and became the biggest-selling instrumental song ever.

Peter, now 60, has just received an award for the four millionth radio playing of Black Magic Woman, and is in talks with members of Fleetwood Mac about reforming the original line-up.

Mike, now 65, says Peter now wants to move to Sussex.

The one-hour documentary is to be screened next year.
