Blues and Gospel TrainLast week our very own CP Lee told the story of the legendary 1964
Blues & Gospel Train on Radio 4, Thursday 13th November.
The
Blues & Gospel Train was a superb and influential Granada TV
musical extravaganza featuring rare and amazing footage of Muddy
Waters, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and the incredible Sister Rosetta
Tharpe. The acts played live on Wilbraham Road Railway Station,
(decorated to look like a shotgun shack) in the leafy Manchester suburb
of Whalley Range.
To hear the fascinating story how the show
was produced and filmed and also first hand accounts from record
producer Joe Boyd (then Tour Manager), Granada TV producer Johnnie Hamp
and members of the audience follow
