Joan Armatrading's Favourite Guitarists

BBC Radio 4

Joan Armatrading is one of Britain's most talented guitarists. The instrument is her passion. In this series she takes us on a journey that celebrates the story of THE instrument of the modern age and showcases guitar playing at its very best. In each programme she is joined by a friend whose playing she admires and who is a seminal figure in the development of guitar music.

In this celebration of the art of the guitar, Joan Armatrading talks to 5 of the best exponents of modern guitar playing: Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt, John Williams, Russell Lissack and Bert Jansch.

"There was a hint that this will not be the last series of Armatrading's faves, in which case bring it on." The Times

"They'd make a rather odd supergroup" The Independent
