Tomorrow night (Saturday 22nd Feb) ahead of next Tuesday’s star studded concert for Peter Green in London, Sky Arts are showing the Rumours edition of Classic Albums followed by the wonderful, two and a half hour documentary Peter Green: Man of the World.

We had heard that there was this pub, The Ship, that was suddenly playing great music on a Friday night, a few weeks earlier. We had ventured over to the unfamiliar surroundings 3 Fridays on the trot. This » Continue Reading.
