Peter Green started off as a bass player in such bands as The Muskrats.
Joining The Peter B’s, led by Peter Bardens, later the frontman of Camel,
(including drummer Mick Fleetwood) he switched to lead guitar and made his
first recordings. He took over the lead guitar spot in John Mayall and The
Blues Breakers in 1966 after the departure of Eric Clapton.
After recording on one Mayall album Peter left in 1967 to form Fleetwood
Mac.

Peter Green was the guiding force of Fleetwood Mac from 1967 to 1970 when
he left for musical and personal reasons. Under Green’s guidance, the Mac
played a very gritty and authentic version of the electric blues popularized in
bars on Chicago’s south side. (They even did some fine recordings there
—“Blues Jam in Chicago”—which saw release only after his tenure in the band
had ended.) A prolific song writer also, he penned such hits as Man of the
World; Oh Well; Green Manalishi; Albatross and Black Magic Woman.
Albatross reached number 1 in the UK charts, Black Magic Woman was also
recorded by Santana on their Abraxas album.

From 1970 to 1974, Peter played some sessions, and worked with several
small bands, as well as releasing two solo singles and an album of extended
jams, (End Of The Game) for Reprise. By the end of 1974, he had withdrawn
from the music scene.

By 1979 Peter was recording again for PVK records as a solo artist with the
debut album In the Skies; 1980 Little Dreamer; 1981 Blue Guitar; 1981
Whatcha Gonna Do; 1981 White Sky; 1984 Kolors; 1987 Katmandu; 1988
Legend; 1992 One Woman Love;

Peter again left the music world in 1984, and there followed a very difficult
period in his life, which came to an end in the mid 90’s, and coincided with
renewed interest, partly generated by a biography written by Martin Celmins,
and a tribute album recorded by Gary Moore.

Peter Green Formed a new group in 1995 with Nigel Watson called the
Splinter Group. Returning to form the group produced some of Peter’s best
playing since leaving Fleetwood Mac. Albums include 1997 Splinter Group;
1998 Robert Johnson Songbook; 2002 Reaching For The Cold 100.

Peter left The Splinter Group in 2003. Since then, he has played sporadically,
appearing at a Lord’s Taverner’s benefit at The Royal Albert Hall, and doing
some gigs with The British Blues All-Stars.
