A Brief Survey of British Blues

Born in the Delta of the River Itchen outside of South Hampton, the blues soon migrated north past Winchester, Basingstoke, Egham and Twickinham via the M3 making their way to London, where they exploded electrically in the clubs of London's southside and Carnaby Street, but never quite making it to Abbey Road Studios...
