Cerys' weekly round up of the blues you need to hear! Cerys welcomes Dana Masters to the show to discuss the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ documentary on Northern Irish blues singer Ottilie Patterson.

Cerys' weekly round up of the blues you need to hear, from all around the world and in all shapes and sizes! Cerys welcomes Dana Masters to the show to discuss the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ documentary on blues singer Ottilie Patterson from Comber, County Down.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Ottilie Patterson was the rising star of British jazz and blues music. As an acclaimed singer with the Chris Barber Band, she and the band were at the forefront of the Trad Jazz scene packing out jazz clubs all around Britain, and relentlessly touring Europe and America. Ottilie performed with Muddy Waters, Ella Fitzgerald and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, then disappeared from the story of British music. In the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ documentary My Name is Ottilie, singer-songwriter Dana Masters goes on a journey to trace the story of Ottilie Patterson by meeting those who knew her and played with her, to learn about Ottilie's extraordinary life and career and attempts to find out why Ottilie's career was cut short.
