Synopsis
'If there has ever been such a thing as a genius in the history of popular music, it's Beefheart.'
That was John Peel's verdict and a year after Beefheart's passing Gideon Coe presents
Christmas With The Captain - a rollicking and raucous 3 hour tribute to his maverick gifts.
Featuring rare as hen's teeth concert material, session tracks from the Maida Vale vaults, listener requests & range of artists indebted to Van Vliet.
