Sid Griffin: book and broadcast

Sid Griffin of the Coal Porters band (UK; played at the Dunmore East festival a couple of years ago and went on to showcase at IBMA in 2004) has a new book out: Bluegrass guitar: know the players, play the music. The chapters are on such pickers as Doc Watson, Clarence White, and Bryan Sutton; also included are guitar tabs and a CD to play along to. For more info, see this link.

Sid has also written the script for 'Will the circle be unbroken? - the Carter Family story', narrated by Dolly Parton, which will be broadcast on Tuesday 23 May at 8:30 p.m. (London time) on BBC Radio Two. Sid adds: 'You can hear the programme on your computer easily if you go to the BBC website. And if you miss the show you can hear it later if you click on "Listen now".'
