Just to link to this programme, 'JB - the man behind the bass' on the Artworks Scotland strand next Monday - looks like there'll be a bit of Lau in there too.

Thanks for whetting my appetite - as a longtime admirer of Jack, I'd have loved to have seen it - maybe it will appear on BBC4 south of the border, some Friday evening in the next year or five!

Do you not have Freesat or Sky? BBC2 Scotland broadcasts on these platforms on Channels 970 and 990 respectively.

Sorry I meant to post this yesterday - according to the schedules it's up for a month, but the webpage says it's got another five days. I'm off to watch it.

Ginger Baker should get the resident slot on all those Grumpy old gits programmes you get on the box - boy oh boy is he one grouchy guy! I liked this programme. Loved the version of 'We're going wrong' from the programme - classic Cream. Also love the Childsong (I think it was called) about his son - beautiful and sad. He's a fine pianist and though the voice isn't as wonderful as it was, he remains a very fine vocalist.

that juxtaposition has me a tad worried johncorrigan ...!!!!

i thought GB was a bit of a moaner as well, rediscovered that i never cared much for JB's singing and found Cream bombastic and noisy in the day .......

but Jack B is an interesting person and a tough one too ....

i loved his wry comment about benjamin britten ....

Here's a page from Jack's website with some good tunes. I really liked Buddy Guy and Roland Kirk with JB doing Stormy Monday in '69. It's 6 or 7 items down the page.
