Some great favourites this week starting off with a rollicking side from Tiny Bradshaw, songs about space and atom bombs and an early number by the King Cole Trio. We'll hear guitar gods like Roy Buchanan and Lonnie Johnson plus the lesser-known Bernie Wiggins and Eddie Bush and the unique blues stylings of Harry Manx who plays, among other things, a 20-string instrument called the mohan veena. Backbeat is also available in 56 and 58 minute versions in three parts to insert breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.
