This programme was broadcast on Radio 4 on Thu 13 Nov 08 and is available until 20 Nov 08.
It is a great show about the Blues Caravan of 1964 comming to Manchester and the influence that concert had on the UK blues scean. Here is what the BBC say about it:
CP Lee tells the story of the Manchester leg of the 1964 concert tour that showcased some of America's greatest black musicians.
That concert, which featured Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, was broadcast on television and inspired many British young musicians who would go on to find fame in the 1960s and beyond.
As well as rarely heard material from the concert, Lee hears from those who were there in the audience, including the tour's manager Joe Boyd.
