Real Audio Files
(Due to current problems with ISP, MP3 version of this site will added at later date.)
| How it Works: Please note that all the below artists have been extremely generous in allowing us to feature full tracks from their albums and EP's. I have personally picked tracks which I considered to be good material and also are exclusively available to this site. (ie: Mike Pini's - Driving Wheel is available elsewhere). The artists will hopefully attract your interest enough that you may wish to buy their material. In this case please contact the address or Web-sites below, as "Blues In Britain" does not sell any of the items listed below. This also means we have no vested interest in pushing the product. So please enjoy but note that the material below is owned and copyrighted by the specific authors, no material may be used in compilations, public broadcast, etc without permission from their respective owners.

Self-produced debut, which shows what a major find Dan Smith is and what an excellent harp player Alan Glen is. Makes you wonder exactly what he would be capable of given a large record company backing and the freedom to concentrate 100 per cent on the music. Now wouldn't it be a bit of fun to stick Dan Smith and Bob Hall side-by-side? All cheques payable to Daniel Smith.

| Remys' effortless guitar expeditions seems to run the gamut style-wise. On this occasion however he is firmly located in Jeff Beck blues mode with a nod to a mellow Hendrix a la Wind Cries Mary. | ||||
