Special Episode - Chris Barber Tribute
Join us for a special episode of BPMOACA as we pay tribute to the hugely-influential musician Chris Barber, a towering figure in post-war British (and worldwide) jazz, blues and popular music via four movies that he was involved in during his peak: “Momma Don't Allow” (1956), “Look Back in Anger” (1959), “It’s Trad Dad” [a.k.a. “Ring-A-Ding Rhythm”] (1962) & “Where Has Poor Mickey Gone?” (1964)
Raise a glass, grab your washboard and enjoy!
