RIP Peter Green - Phil Harding gets the blues

Time Team Teatime: Session 18
In this classic clip from the archive, Phil Harding and Paul Blinkhorn share their thoughts on the blues. UPDATE: We hadn't heard about Peter Green's passing at the time of posting, but we hope Phil's words act as a fitting tribute to the great guitarist.

I was busking the blues in Salisbury today and Phil Harding came over and chatted...said some nice things..made my day... thanks Phil!!

[@Rand0mFemale]

I’m born on the same day as Mr. Robert Johnson.

[@GrungefolkBoy2010]

I could listen to these chat for hours and not get bored, Phil is a legend 😁

[@free_gold4467]

Lovely, just lovely.

[@cawfeedawg]

Agree with Phil 110%

[@davidevans3227]

..one great, lovely man talking about another.. thanks for sharing this.

[@flarqueologia4295]

Big hug from brazilian archaeologists

[@mkilner]

Man of the World!...RIP Greeny...🌟👏🏻🎼🎸

[@screwthecabal6453]

I love this guy!!

[@romainvicta3076]

Good people, Lovely people- Missing these kinds of people during lockdown

[@penderyn8794]

How can one be a celtic saxon? They are diametrically opposed 🤪😋😛

[@LindaLandsverk]

I would like to see Phil after a makeover, then he could go back to his normal self. He has something that draws people in.

[@LexingtonDaniel]

Everyone loved Greenie

[@pennyvickers5178]

Sad news, lovely man, very knowledgeable. Condolences to his family

[@shirleyvmaui]

You can’t go wrong with Robert Johnson!👍🏼

[@screwthecabal6453]

NOW THAT WAS AWESOME!

[@costasevripidou2726]

There is only one Peter Green, lve watched him play live on 1982 November dominion theatre London, front row, to this day I've never heard or seen anyone play blues better than this man, black white or green for that matter

[@stuartliddle7228]

That is proper legend!

[@Fireonthemountaintop]

Phil, keeping it real and down to earth as always. Stay safe my friends at Time Team.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

I grew up with this music and just wish I was with them chipping in with my favourites, my mate and I used to back to his house after a few pints and play a bit of led zep and fleetwood mac and listen to it with a wee carry out, oh the good old days, heaven

[@kurtbogle2973]

I hear Time team is coming back. I certainly hope Phil is a part of it. At least as a consultant. Im not an archaeologist but Phil Harting seems to have a sharp eye, and a sharp mind to go along with it. I really enjoy watching him fing and interpret stuff.

[@Brian-om2hh]

I heard Phil is busy digging the Waterloo battle site just now, along with helping injured ex servicemen to get involved in archeology...... but I heard that if he's able to fit something in amongst his other commitments, he has said he'll try to.... Although I think Carenza Lewis, Helen Geake, John Gator and Stewart the Geophiz guy are in on the new set-up...

[@shirleyvmaui]

I hope Phil can protect his back more these days so that he can enjoy all the rest of his years. Have him as consultant, host, whatever he chooses, but leave the heaviest work to the kids because I want our Phil happy & healthy ❤️

[@paulaeller8704]

Yeah Phil long live the blues. If you ever get to Chicago look me up I will show you all the best places to hear live blues and introduce you to some of the world's most famous blues musicians

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

RIP Peter

[@johnnorth9355]

Jumpin at Shadows Phil - Greeny at his finest.

[@MelissaThompson432]

Sad news.... RIP Peter Green.

[@dahenjo7633]

I'm from the US and am Phil's age (70), saw Peter's Fleetwood Mac with the Grateful Dead the night the latter got "Busted on Bourbon Street" which was also the first successful rock concert held in New Orleans (Jan 30th 1970). The police had run earlier bands out of town before they could play, but this show opened a new venue that then ran for many years hosting the best bands of the day. There was also an extra benefit show to raise money for the Dead's legal costs at which members of both bands jammed informally with Peter quite active in the musical discourse, I don't believe they had met before. I'm also a big fan of Danny Kirwan (RIP) who complemented Peter so well on songs like Coming Your Way, Although the Sun is Shining, Albatross and many others.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Dahenjo That must have been a great show. I too love the ‘original’ Fleetwood Mac with Danny Kirwan. He was such a sensitive soul.

[@Popsaircraftdetail]

That guy he’s the only reason I watch the show

[@pete3773]

Phil knows the score.

[@robertphelps1574]

My favourite song at the moment is stone crazy with aynsley Dunbar ,Jack Bruce ,Peter Green and Rod Stewart

[@billstevens9686]

Interesting you uploading this without knowing he'd died. I present a 60s show on our community station in Australia & played 2 tracks from the Hard Road LP lunchtime Saturday which would have been close to the actual moment. Very sad.

[@schoolingdiana9086]

Omg, is this all there is? Or all you uploaded? I could listen to more of this, no problem. 😁

[@martinabsolom2231]

Hendrix once said that Peter Green and Chicago guitarist Terry Kath were the greatest.

[@frankfreeman1444]

Phil: He is not known as a guitarist, but as someone who likes the blues, I hope you get a chance to check out Delbert McClinton. Especially his less commercially successful stuff. Thanks for your work too. A shitload of us miss TT. Frank

[@1972tommyc]

Delbert....yeah baby!

[@dianacipollone4560]

Really liked seeing Phil and Paul’s discussion re ‘the blues music’. Canada

[@joannmay-anthony1076]

I love the Clash

[@sharonfarris1282]

Yes, Peter Green is amazing. I have to say that Eddie Van Halen is too. How about Jaco Pastorus. All 3 are gone from us. All are aclaimed by there peers. As is Uncle Phil who definitely rocks 😊 and thankful he is with us ☺️😊☺️😊😊😊😊😊

[@hayhelros3]

Amazing with pottery. RIP Peter.

[@richardsutcliffe3864]

Peter Green at the Cheese and Grain. Amazing music and illustrious company.

[@romainvicta3076]

Peter green died yesterday

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

Very sad - we weren't aware at time of posting but hope that Phil's words are a fitting tribute!

[@Outspoken.Humanist]

Good to see that Bob Fleming's cough has cleared up. There is only one Phil.

[@runescapebanker]

Just need a Tardis

[@baskervillebee6097]

Peter Green was fine. Try Justin Johnson playing a 3 string shovel. 😳 wow

[@deborahparham3783]

Thank you!

[@tammydriver5759]

Jim Byrnes (Joe Dawson on Highlander) is a good blues player.

[@tphvictims5101]

Is the Rumor true that Tony went to a Golf course twice a month to practice stepping into the Holes ? 😉

[@NoCoverCharge]

I would say Rory Gallagher ....love ya Phil

[@Bildgesmythe]

Mortality is a bitch.

[@grampygamer8584]
