Errol Linton is a south London boy, with roots in Jamaica. His brand of ‘Brixton Blues’ music merges his Caribbean heritage with his love for the blues to create a distinctive reggae-infused form of blues.Starting out busking on the streets of London, Errol was noticed by BBC Producer John Walters, who made a documentary about him. This led on to some airplay on BBC Radio. Errol built on this early success and has released a number of albums since the early 1990s. His two most recent albums have been released to critical acclaim, with the latest one, No Entry, recorded with a live feel.   Select the Chapter Markers tab above to select different sections of the podcast (website version only).Links:Errol's website:http://errollinton.com/Videos:Documentary on Errol by BBC: https://youtu.be/xQCaLPw0efoHowlin’ For My Darlin’ https://youtu.be/B9OYyvqUIN8 Paul Jones BBC Blues Radio show: https://youtu.be/fnYzCvAILbM Busking on London Underground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG91oY8ogH0 Errol's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSp8y2HN77CmkYXZZI0V_9Q Music:Listen to Errol’s “Live In London” album here: https://www.brassdogrecords.com/live-in-london-a Chad Jackson remix of Rain In Your Life: https://www.brassdogrecords.com/chad-jackson-remix Harmonica in Jamaican music:http://jamminjasounds.blogspot.com/2007/05/harmonica-in-jamaican-music.html Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains some of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQ
