Wolf Mail plays Peter Green at the Austrian Club
Event description
WOLF MAIL PLAYS PETER GREEN " Peter and the Wolf"
Peter and the Wolf is a well-known symphonic fairy tale written by Sergei Prokofiev, in which a narrator tells a beautiful children's story while an orchestra illustrates it musically. Wolf Mail’s project Peter and the Wolf, recognises the beauty of contributions made by Peter Green to the musical world over the last 55 years. Green was perhaps Britain’s most influential blues guitarist from his time in 1965 as lead guitar with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers when he replaced Eric Clapton.
After Peter’s death, Cat Stevens remarked "God bless the ineffable Peter Green, one of the unsung heroes of musical integrity, innovation and spirit. When I heard he left Fleetwood Mac in 1970 to get a real life and donate his wealth to charity, he became something of a model for me". Green passed away on July 25th 2020 and has left us with a wealth of original material that Wolf splendidly celebrates with "Peter and the Wolf".
Canadian guitarist and BMA nominee Wolf Mail tells the story of Peter Green and illustrates that with a repertoire presenting all the well-known scores including Green’s own “Albatross”, “Oh Well”, “Black Magic Woman”, “The Supernatural” and “Rolling Man”. Wolf Mail and his 4 piece band celebrate the music of British Blues Legend Peter Green.
