Perhaps Britain's most pioneering blues musician, John Mayall's career stretches over 50 years. However his most important period was in the 60s when he played with and influenced many musicians including most famously, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood. Introducing American Blues to a wider audience through his band, The Bluesbreakers in the 1960s, Mayall has continued to record and perform ever since.
